Just to add an another alternative: What about the open source project
ILEastic. It is a ILE application server for building microservices and/or
giving straight up RPG programs a HTTP interface - A programable
applicationserver as an API in your own application.

Apache + CGI still works fine, however other design paradigms are emerging
that makes web applications much more agile and scalable that even fits
into new features on IBM i like NGINX.

Also take a look what's going on in the MONO project - now we can run .NET
on our platform.

It is an exiting new future we are looking into

Apache on IBM i works great, adding an extra server in between gives no
benefit.

Using a tool like CGIDEV2 you isolate the program logic from the
presentation, a web designer can do the "pretty thing" without any
knowledge of RPG and you can do the logic in RPG whit just a very basic
knowledge of HTML .

The handwriting is on the wall. Make your IBM i a behind-the-firewall Db2
black box that serves up data requests via Node.js or something to a
front-end web server running on Linux.
