Consider that the most computationally intensive systems run on mainframes, which are thin client-server systems, you can see that webapps are not such a bad concept. | |

| Mar 2, 2015 at 5:57 | comment | added | Esoteric Screen Name | It depends. On your hardware utilization and budget, server and user physical locations, maintenance and deployment schedule, application scale and expected growth, actual functions performed by A & B... I can't give you an answer because I'm not involved with your project. I will say that I wouldn't put them in a Windows service though, because they aren't automated server jobs (that's not to say you couldn't if you really wanted to; it is technically feasible...). If you're going to break them out from the web app, the first option I'd consider would be a WCF or similar form of web service. | |
| Mar 2, 2015 at 5:44 | comment | added | Simple Fellow | consider an app which uses SQL Server. In a custom DLL "A" some ORM is used to fetch the data and in another DLL "B" some functionality resides. The web app references B which references A. When the web app receives a request it calls "B" which calls "A" to get the data. B does some moderate processing and returns the result to web app. I understand that A & B are logical layers but they are still loaded as part of web app, not separately. Do you think that A & B should reside elsewhere like in Windows Service? Also what other options do I have for A & B? | |
