How to support 1 Million or more WebSocket Connections using ASP.NET Core SignalR

I have been exploring SignalR, and am interested in learning how to build applications that support 1 Million or more connections. My first use case would be a real time multiplayer game with paired clients (1 player vs 1 player).

I was very excited to see Azure SignalR Service, but the service only supports a maximum of 100 units. With a max of 1000 connections per unit, that only comes to 100 000 connections.

Is there any architecture or technology that allows ASP.NET Core SignalR to support 1 million or more connections?

This is a great question. At this time the skus listed in the pricing page don't go beyond that 100k max, but we have had this question with increasing frequency and are evaluating the various scenarios, of which there are a multitude of classes.

To be clear are you thinking you'd need 1,000,000 simultaneous connections? Or messages?

We plan on releasing guidance on topics such as multi-instance sharding or larger scale needs in winter 2019, I'll keep this thread updated as that guidance comes out.
