Openbiz-Cubi PHP Framework Case Study
Security: Web applications were generally considered more vulnerable
Scalability: Scalability of web applications was limited before technologies like AJAX,
Web Services, compression, server side caching, database sharding
Performance: Most web applications especially PHP generally involved each user
action submitting a form (or on Iframe) over the wire to the server and then waiting
for server to parse response and send back a reply before proceeding.
Compliance: Due to lack of inbuilt tools that are commonplace in desktop
development environments, web applications generally took more effort to obtain
regulatory compliance
Licensing: Web applications involved installation of raw scripts, making licensing
quite a handful for innovative companies.
Application State: Business applications generally require a stateful environment,
which PHP and other scripting languages do not naturally possess.
