Re: Looking for various PHP options running on i

I do not think it is harder to develop in the i.  Using CGIDEV2 you can
do all the "web" part in Linux, store in the IFS, or in the tool of your
choice and "fill the blanks" with RPG.

Answer: Two-tier or three-tier is a better architecture for secure, robust
apps drawing data from IBM i.

Microservices allow a factoring of functionality. Delivery of end services
on the second tier is a composition from extant, well-formed verbs.

Microservices are rapid to code and fit in with development sprints.

Let IBM i do what IBM i does best: Store and deliver data.

Let Linux do what Linux does best: provide a development environment and
hosting platform for outward-facing end-user web services.

Why everyone tries to squeeze the web server down onto the IBM i, where it
is harder to develop, runs slower, and exposes the server more to the
outside world, is only barely understandable, though I do understand.

My clients who tried to shoehorn the whole legacy modernization onto the i
itself have all regretted it and moved to multi-tier.
