Hello all,
has anyone moved a large part of their website from Soap to Rest API Services? We are about to start a project working on completing this change. I was wondering if anyone has experienced performance changes? Does it slowdown or speed up your website and Tessitura backend systems? Wondering if we will need to increase our back end resources.
I would welcome any experiences you can share.
Regards Ivanka
Hi Ivanka,
We have been working on migrating our site from SOAP to REST over the last year or so. It's still very much in progress. Some key points on the performance of the REST calls: * In general, there isn't always a one-to-one mapping of the SOAP to REST calls. One SOAP call might be replaced with 4 more granular REST calls. * There is security overheard in the REST calls that didn't exist in the SOAP calls. * Because of these two points, there often isn't performance parity from one method to the next.
You can reach out to Tessitura support, but I believe they recommend doubling the resources for your API server when migrating to REST. They can give you specific hardware requirements. I can give you specifics on our API setup at AWS, if that is helpful.
Also, we hosted James and Dan from Melbourne here in Pittsburgh last fall. It was a really great visit--please send them my regards.
Please let me know if we can be of any assistance. We'd be happy to jump on a call to go over anything in more detail, if it would be helpful.
Thanks,Patrick
Thanks Patrick, (not sure if you received my previous email) that’s very helpful! I’ll pass on your regards to Dan and James, they said they had a great trip.
