Good morning, everyone,
As part of the migration from a heavy client project to a connected application to a server (currently under study DataSnap XE10.2) in order to transfer on an ad hoc basis and retrieve information from the server.
We would like to have some feedback on other available technologies, their durability and ease of adaptation.
Here is the profile of our application
The client connects to a remote server that can be hosted elsewhere.
There can be up to 300 clients connected at the same time over a period of 3 days.
these 300 customers can send on a variable hourly interval (1 to 2 hours and in a different way.
depending on the time of day (different countries).
These connections can transmit up to 5000 data so 300 = 1,500,000 over a period of one month. For the moment we have chosen the DataSnap solution because it is already used on medical applications.
and especially for its ease of migration from the Delphi heavy client project to this type of architecture.
and also for his perenity with Delphi.
Our questions: what do you think?
What arguments and intermediate or other solutions do you propose? As far as RAD Server is concerned, this has a cost per license, but does it exit it examples of migration from a DataSnap application to RAD Server?
What are your experiences in these different areas? (concrete case in point)
On our side we will launch a simulation of 300 clients transmitting 5000 requests JSON REST to our DATASNAP server which will insert each of these queries into a database.
MySQL of 40GB, the insertion will return an acknowledgement of receipt and a written acknowledgement (simple boolean)
Thank you for your feedback, on our side we will publish the results of our tests
