LiveCoding: Writing Highly Performant PI Web API Applications
In this session, we'll begin with a poorly-performing web application: although it works, it's just too slow to use. As the session progresses, we will improve our web application by introducing applicable PI Web API features and functionality. Starting with small changes to more efficiently request time series data, we will then move on to improved metadata access patterns and making more efficient use of network traffic. Finally, we will cover advanced topics such as architectural design changes and PI Web API configuration settings that will let you squeeze every drop of performance out of the PI Web API and your client applications.
