Reduce Server Load to Accelerate Data Processing

August 2, 2024
List & Label 29.003 adds advanced caching mechanisms to reduce server load and make data intensive operations faster and more responsive.

List & Label by combit is a software development toolkit that empowers developers to integrate comprehensive reporting functionalities into their desktop, web, and cloud applications. It offers features such as data binding, complex data visualization, and a user-friendly report designer, along with printing, exporting, and previewing capabilities. List & Label operates independently of programming languages and data sources, providing developers with the flexibility to design and deliver informative reports within their development environment.

The List & Label 29.003 service pack introduces multiple caching mechanisms to optimize performance during operations involving large data structures within the Web Designer. With these mechanisms, the system significantly reduces the frequency of resource-intensive web server requests, thereby decreasing the load on the server. This approach optimizes resource utilization by storing frequently accessed data in temporary storage, thus decreasing the need for repeated data retrieval from the server. The result is faster data processing and improved response times, which is especially beneficial when handling complex design scenarios that demand extensive data processing.

To see a full list of what's new in 29.003, see our release notes.

List & Label is licensed per developer and is available as a Perpetual License with a 12 month support and maintenance subscription. See our List & Label licensing page for full details.
