Compare Persistence Providers
Select the right database to use with your ThingWorx installation.
Project Concept
When you develop an application with ThingWorx, you must save the configuration data that defines the data model and the user interface. You also need to store the dynamic data that is generated by devices at runtime (such as temperature or location). ThingWorx uses the term Persistence Provider to refer to any type of service that saves application data, usually it is a database. When your application moves into production you must choose and configure a persistence provider that meets your requirements.
