Re: Suggestions Required for Web Services for IBMi

Niels:

We have customers that are shying away from IBM i due to what they believe
are incompatibilities with Flask. Does this imply you have it working?
Since my understanding is Flask is all Python, I did not think there would
be a problem with it on IBM i .

WebService and microservices are two different things.

When i comes to Microservices on IBM i we are using the following depending
of the customers skills and needs:


- Flask if Python ( soon replaced with fastAPI when we get it to work
on IBM i ( thanx to Jesse)
- Seneca if node.js ( Thanx to Tim Rowe)
- Spring-boot if java
- ILEastic if RPG

All of the above follows the self-contained http serving paradigme for
partial/incrementing deployment that the DevOps loop.

IWS on the other hand is an application server, that does it work perfect if
it just a matter of getting REST-full services up and running - you can now
simply trow and SQL statement after it and it will serve it - easy as that.

When i come to our microservices stack - they are all based on open source.
where (as Tim so perfectly described is delivered and 100% supported by
IBM)


So in the end: Is it WebServices or microservices?. Are you looking into
DevOps? And what kind of support will you are after?

In all honesty, I do have a touch. I blame my mom's side. OCD too.
