Performance Tip

By default, IIS shuts down web sites after 20 minutes of inactivity. It is an expensive and time consuming process for the API application to open an Evolution Company database after a cold start as it needs to build a complicated model of the database and initialise it (may take ~20 seconds), so to avoid this delay which may occur frequently if you don't continuously access Evo.NET, it is recommended that you configure the API's application pool to stay alive.

Select the API's application pool and edit the Advanced Settings.

Set the Idle Time-out (minutes) to 0 (indefinite) and the Start Mode to Always Running
