Extending Relativity vs. Integrating with Relativity
This comparison describes main differences between integrating with Relativity with the available APIs, and extending Relativity with the available Extension Points
Extending Relativity | Integrating with Relativity’s APIs | |
---|---|---|
Languages and tooling | Must use .NET Framework 4.6.2 and deploy using Relativity’s Application Deployment System. | Integrate using any tool or language that supports REST. |
Deployment | Runs on Relativity’s platform, inside Relativity’s ecosystem and datacenter. | Runs on your own private cloud, datacenter, and/or machines |
Observability and troubleshooting | Access to logs through the Log Extractor tool. | Access to any observability tools that you use. |
Maintainability | Code must be kept updated multiple times each year as Relativity’s implementation continues to evolve | Domain driven; stable abstractions allow integrations to remain unchanged for years at a time. |
