Blazor server deployment behind load balancers

[lxman]

Currently Blazor server deployment behind a load balancer is what I would call less than satisfactory. The requirement to use sticky sessions on the load balancer is something that most IT departments are going to resist. The option of moving to Azure to use their SignalR support is not an option for most companies because that requires moving their website and their data (in our case an MSSQL database) to an off-site storage facility. In our case that is NOT an option due to security concerns.

Therefore, I would like to get some feedback on two questions.

First, is my analysis of the situation correct? Currently, if you wish to deploy a Blazor server app to a farm, you either are required to use sticky sessions or else move to Azure? Are those basically the only two viable options?

Second, is there any plan at present to expose the SignalR information so that one could set up a Redis server and use it to balance the information between the servers and allow one to not have to set sticky sessions on the load balancer?

Any relevant information would be greatly appreciated.
