title: SignalR on Azure: Web or Worker Role?
body: <p>I need to deploy my SignalR back-end application on Azure, without any dependency to ASP.NET (I use a console app for testing purposes).</p>
  
  <p>So, I need an Azure <strong>Cloud Service</strong>, and I don't know if I should go for a worker role or a web role. According to <a href="http://www.asp.net/aspnet/overview/owin-and-katana/host-owin-in-an-azure-worker-role" rel="nofollow">this link</a>, I successfully created a worker role hosting my SignalR app, but I want to know if this is the best way to go.</p>
