Hi Vemula,

Is there any performance impact to using the REST API over the Embedded version?

Probably yes, because extra things like network IO and (de-)serialization of data happen.

How big is it? I cannot tell and if the difference is relevant depends highly on your usage scenario. I recommend you make a couple performance test in a realisitic setting with a clear goal.

Cheers,
Thorben
