Hello, I'm developed the Point of Sales (POS) application in Windows and iPad (iOS devices) app using local database such as MSSQL Server Express and Sqlite3. These applications work great and FAST in local network environment. For multi stations I used MSSSQL network server (TCP open port 1433). For SQLite system, I've wrote a complete WCF server/client then hosted on local network. Again, the systems work great and FAST. Now I want explore Web base application which mean that I must hosting web services on the WWW or Cloud services.

So, my question is what web service protocol should I use to maintaining the satisfactory POS performance (the applications still have run locally as native app). I have looks in to JSON, REST protocol but not sure will give the performance that I need because in POS world it is requires that fast and a lot database records to SELECT(GET), UPDATE(POST) and INSERT(PUT) in real-time or close manner.

I know that I can't get a real-time performance on web services but if I can get 80% plus performance that worth shooting for. Thanks...

Just a note: "real-time" is not an adequate term. Nothing from what you describe has anything to do with real time. And I doubt you can improve performance at all, compared to what you described in your first clause (of course if you local database based implementation was good enough). I think, realistically, you are really asking about something which could be slower but still of acceptable performance. I think it depends on so many factors, that you probably need to create a proof-of-concept prototype and time it.
