Context Store maps your data model into the Context Store data model. While mapping your data model into the Context Store abstract model of key/value pairs in Context Store, you must consider the following factors:

• Context size: Context Store uses a high performance in-memory data grid. To take advantage of this environment and to achieve high performance, keep the context size minimal. For more information see, Capacity and scalability specification.

• Pointers rather than actual data: Use Context Store as a centralized solution to share information and not to store data. For example, use Context Store to store the location and name of a user’s picture, not to store the actual picture.

• Structure: Use the inner-map structure of Context Store to structure the data properly.
