Re: Looking for various PHP options running on i

The web server in the i is quite fast. I doubt in intel (general
purpose) will be faster. Since most pages in the i serve in far less
than a tenth of a second, Linux will not be much faster.

On the other hand, if Linux has to fetch the data from the i and serve
it, will probably take longer.

Since the web server is on the Internet, and the i is reachable from the
web server, I do not see advantage in security.

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

Raul, you and I are thinking along the same lines.

I use Atom editor and/or JEdit to remote edit the IFS.

It's perfectly a perfectly adequate development environment .. for Node.js
and config files and shell scripts.

Doing general development around delivering web services to end users?
Linux wins, because it's designed for that. Like IBM i is designed for
record storage and retrieval.

It seems to me there is no rational reason to cling to 100% onboard
modernization.

- Why do you want the world to have a direct path to your server?
- Development is really much faster if you use the right tools for the
job.
- The web server, load balancer, network tools, compilers, etc. run much
faster on Linux.
