Re: ibm_db node module and IBM Data Server Driver

RPG and COBOL compile to "native", very optimized code in the i.  It is
very unlikely that any other option will perform better. And modern
COBOL is excellent for serving web.

Again, I'm not saying CGI is a bad decision. I'm sure it works perfectly fine in many cases.

If a company wants to handle very high volumes of concurrent requests quickly (think Walmart, eBay, PayPal or Amazon Brand Stores), then node may perform better than CGI. We would like to choose the technology that can better handle any amount of growth.

Reasoning to avoid CGI ?

Still smokin fast after all these years and you might get your COBOL team to progress.

We don't to use CGI if we can avoid it.

You could create web services using COBOL (or RPG) as well, if that's the main programing language.

Easily send JSON (or XML. blech...) data back to the requestor. All you'd really need is YAJL or something similar.
