Servoy can be deployed in two ways for stand alone usage.
- Client/Server: both a Server and Client run on the same machine
- Servoy Runtime: a special stand alone version of Servoy
Client/Server
In this case a server is installed locally and a Smart or web client is deployed from that server to the local user
Runtime
Using the Servoy Runtime builder a runtime is generated that contains a doubleclickable executable. No server installation is necessary and the folder in which the runtime resides is portable (it can be moved between different machines as long as they have the same host operating system)
Pro's & Con's
- Client/Server: a local server has to be installed, with Runtime this is not necessary
- Client/Server can support multiple database connections, runtime only one local
- Client/Server can be enhanced with Mobilink to enable synchronisation
- Client/Server also allows other users to connect to the server (essentially a peer to peer scenario)
