Web Service VS .ASPX page

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a ASP.net page that is currently processing http requests sent to it. It receives about 10k requests per day and seems to be handling the traffic well. The page parses through the request.InputStream via XMLTextReader and then writes the data to a SQL server database. I am not returning anything.

I am wondering if I would get any performance boost out of changing this to a web service? It appears I could use almost the same code. I do believe that I would gain easier error logging features from this move also.

I ask this because we may be moving to 50K requests a day and need the application to handle it.

I'm not sure if it would perform better, but I do think it would be a more sensible way of doing it. I would suggest making the change, and then doing some performance testing to see if either runs better.
