SignalR vs Syncano: What are the differences?
Developers describe SignalR as "A new library for ASP.NET developers that makes developing real-time web functionality easy". SignalR allows bi-directional communication between server and client. Servers can now push content to connected clients instantly as it becomes available. SignalR supports Web Sockets, and falls back to other compatible techniques for older browsers. SignalR includes APIs for connection management (for instance, connect and disconnect events), grouping connections, and authorization. On the other hand, Syncano is detailed as "a highly flexible real-time backend as a service". Syncano is a backend platform to build powerful real-time apps more efficiently. Integrate with any API, minimize boilerplate code and control your data - all from one place.
SignalR and Syncano belong to "Realtime Backend / API" category of the tech stack.
"Supports .NET server" is the top reason why over 7 developers like SignalR, while over 11 developers mention "Admin GUI" as the leading cause for choosing Syncano.
SignalR is an open source tool with 7.75K GitHub stars and 2.19K GitHub forks. Here's a link to SignalR's open source repository on GitHub.
