ThingWorx Package Creation as extension takes very long even for small projects

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the Publish Solution process as extension in ThingWorx.

Even for very small projects — for example, a project containing only 3 entities — the publishing process (as Extension) takes quite a long time before the download starts. I have also tested it by calling the “Publish Solution” REST API directly, but the result is the same — it takes noticeably long to generate the package.

We are currently using ThingWorx 9.3, and I was wondering:

• Is this expected behavior for this version?

• Has the performance improved in newer ThingWorx releases?

• Or is there maybe any configuration or optimization that could speed this up?

This is just for my understanding — but any technical explanation about what happens during the publish process would be great.

Thanks in advance!
