Wappler is an amazing tool! Of course you know!
I consider Wappler as a lowcode tool, where I don’t need to go into php or asp code to make things happen. And I must say that it makes the job for a big set of tasks.
But what would be the recommendations on choosing server model?
We have PHP - the most used one, we have ASP and now we have NODEJS.
How to choose server model, if I don’t want to get hands dirty with the code?
Looking through the community messages I see that there are some limitations with Node (SPA for example) but there are also benefits (layouts for example).
Can anybody share their experiences on the benefits of each servermodel - php and node?
For me (personal opinion only)
PHP: tried, tested, rock solid but old tech. Works on pretty much any server
NODE: faster with some really nice bells and whistles but implementation not yet ready for the novice. Specific hosting requirements, many setup issues still being raised by users.
I know that there are many factors that may be of influence, the parts that attracted me to using NodeJS is the superior template system and the ability to configure the server without having to resort to an htaccess type file.
A drawback is the fact that, during development, the remote server needs constant restarting. It is best to develop locally (Wappler automatically restarts the server) and upload when finished.
