Primary performance considerations
There are two fundamental performance reasons for implementing an application using AppServer:
To minimize network traffic by putting data processing closer to the database
To offload resource-intensive processing tasks to a machine more capable of executing the tasks
These two points can work together to provide maximum performance benefits. The following sections discuss each point separately.
In this section:
Minimizing network traffic
Off loading resource-intensive processing tasks
