* Read Scale-Out:
* Read scale-out is a feature in Business Central that allows you to improve performance by distributing read-only queries (such as the ones from the ticketAPI) across multiple read replicas in the cloud database. This reduces the load on the primary database and helps improve the response time for read-intensive operations, like analyzing POS data through the ticketAPI.
* Data Access Intent - ReadOnly:
* When enabling read scale-out, you can configure the DataAccessIntent property of APIs to be ReadOnly. This directs the system to use read replicas to handle read-only queries, which enhances performance by offloading such queries from the primary database.
* Why Not Other Options?
* Option A (ODataReadonlyGetEnabled): This parameter is unrelated to read scale-out and primarily affects OData services behavior, not API performance tuning.
* Option B (AccessByPermission): Setting the permission to Read does not directly affect the performance. It only controls access based on user permissions.
* Option D (DataAccessIntent ReadOnly): While setting this property to ReadOnly helps in read- only operations, enabling read scale-out (option C) ensures the underlying infrastructure is optimized to handle such read operations, which is the fundamental action required.
