better way to create game server with web interface

Question

i decided to write a card game with c# that has a winform application for main server to manage the game with a web interface. i chose SignalR self-host for main server. because i want to sell this app to others and dont want to modify the code or html of the web interface. so my question is: is that good for handling 10000 client request? is there a way to write this app for better performance? another thing is i want to write the main server and login cashout profile and ... most written by customers like poker mavens and i just create a api with json to do this functions. plzzzz guide me which way is better to write this app!

Answer 1

With your server code self hosted and a javascript client calling into your server methods, becoming your browser based client, your design should work.
I am looking at this. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/signalr/overview/deployment/tutorial-signalr-self-host

But I think you'll need to figure out scale out scenarios and server failure scenarios with the self host. In case there is a patch update on the server and it has to restart, you'll need to be able to get a backup. Also consider the case when you need to upgrade the server. So you'll need to be able to host it in multiple servers and you'll need to provide the signalr backplane option.

From a performance point of view, I have tested a web api signalR application on a single 4-core-14-GB server and was able to scale up to 20k connections, with the server comfortably serving more than 200 Requests per second.

With a backplane these numbers were around 100-150 rps. The response times in both cases were very good ~ 500 ms.

Although please note that your numbers could be VASTLY different based on your actual functionality.
