The new Dynamic Engine

We have made significant improvements to the capabilities of the Board Engine, specifically in the areas of memory management, performance optimization, and data on-disk reliability. These enhancements will allow our customers to scale more efficiently and handle larger, more complex applications.

  • Improved scalability for larger data volumes with fewer resources
    • Board Engine is now capable of managing much larger amounts of data thanks to an optimized management where information is kept in memory
    • On average, much more resources are available to execute user interactions and requested calculations
  • Improved performance for calculations and data transfers
    • The new architecture allows for several performance optimizations and improvements in several key areas like Dataflows, Data Readers, Extractions, etc.
  • Simplified architecture and maintenance
    • Only one saving policy and architecture moving forward which is automatically applied when upgrading to Board 14
    • Complex backup architectures (save to disk, OnServerClose, etc.) can now be removed, exploiting a simple backup via a Procedure step
    • Historical data loading has much less impact on resources usage, reducing the need for data archiving processes
    • InRam Flag is now deprecated
