REST service storage options

[eliyahu]

I am implementing a REST service with a custom report source resolver. There will be a single instance of the service.

For the IStorage interface implementation, which one offers better performance, FileStorage or MsSql Database storage? The load may be high, hundreds of reports in the same time.

For FileStorage, if I don't specify any location, what is the defaul location on the file system?

Hello Eliyahu,

We recommend IStorage implementation suitable for deploying both on single instance application hosting and in Web Farms. The main reason is that the locking mechanism for avoiding concurrent access comes from the database, which makes this storage type suitable for production and higher loads.

The FileStorage is mainly for development usage. Its default folder is the temp folder of the current user. For example:

C:\Users\arabadzhiev\AppData\Local\Temp\Html5DemoApp\14.2.20.916

Note that the rest of the path is formed from the REST Service HostAppId and the version of the Telerik  Reporting product.
