Architecture question

Question

Hello.

I'm using one WCF to collect status from different service.
ratio of 2-3 statuses per second.
statuses goes into DB.
in order to query the DB for these statuses with different parameters, would you use the same WCF or create new one?

Thanks.

Hi Elvis You would affect performances using another service i think it's will consume more memory processor... In fact like i said before using the same service for manage a set of data is a good pattern.

Thanks for your replays. Will it not affect performances? the rate of using the service is 2-3 sometimes more for second. will it not be too much for the service to handle? or is the fact that each is creating a new instance deals with it? thanks.

I noticed developers are confused about a service and service method. You can have multiple Webmethods in a service. As Diego suggested use same service with a different method.

Hi Elvis If you want to arrange this service i guess that the best choice been use the same service th is way you have WCF that manages functions with the same data on db. Best to do maintenance later.
