PHP? who are using it?

OK, OK got it. but why don't you use a framework?

“As much easier for the developer, harder for the computer”

Talk is cheap, show me the code

Let's build a Twitter-clone http://www.flickr.com/photos/powerpig/3614473636/

● PHP 5 ● Simple-ORM ● MySQL ● MongoDB http://www.flickr.com/photos/powerpig/3614473636/

git clone http://crodas.org/latinoware-2009.git http://www.flickr.com/photos/herr_akx/399196999/

Coding in layers you can do crazy things. http://www.flickr.com/photos/herr_akx/399196999/

... such as, let's drop MySQL and use MongoDB http://www.flickr.com/photos/herr_akx/399196999/

git pull origin mongo http://www.flickr.com/photos/herr_akx/399196999/

● C++'s revenge ● Super simple ● More than just key-value ● Think in documents, no tables ● Sharding ● Pretty fast (at least on my tests) ● JSON-like

MySQL's problems (and RBDMS in general) ● High abstraction at a high price ● Really hard to make it fault tolerant ● Most web-sites (except for those which deals with money) doesn't really need a RDBMS ● Out-of-the-box solution for small/medium web- sites

Scaling up to the sky http://www.flickr.com/photos/lecates/536763868/

● Fast front end server (Nginx, perbal) ● Avoid re-do the same thing twice (client cache) ● Static files to front end, scripts to back end ● Use MongoDB (or might be CouchDB) ● KISS ● DNS round-robin across many front-ends http://www.flickr.com/photos/lecates/536763868/

Conclusions ● If a framework is enough for you, go for it ● Done by hand is better, and much more efficient ● Small-efforts at long terms are better http://www.flickr.com/photos/lecates/536763868/
