KonfDBH (host) is modelled on the provider concept to access data-store. By default, it ships with MS-SQL data providers for on-premise MS SQL data base and Azure MS-SQL database. Sample provider configuration appears like, “providers”: { “databaseProviders”: { “default”: “localsql”, “database”: [ { “key”: “localsql”, “providerType”: “MsSql”, “host”: “localhost\\sqlexpress”, “port”: 8080, “instanceName”: “konf”, “username”: […]
Caching configuration is important if you expect your applications to retrieve same data on frequently. KonfDB host supports in-memory caching and the caching strategy can be defined under the ‘cache’ node. Sample configuration for caching is as under “cache”: { “enabled”: false, “mode”: “Absolute”, “duration”: 30 } enabled When enabled attribute is set to true, […]
