> PHP + MySQL + a bunch of shell scripts That's a typical 2010-era stack. We're almost in 2022, things have evolved.

  Except PHP + MySQL is still a solid choice for a single developer. It scales out well enough for almost all use cases.

    Has worked brilliantly well for me for many years.

    There are more maintainable options available that are just as free, easy to get started, and have large communities.

  It’s almost 2022 and 95% of all backends are still just CRUD.
  • pphysch 5y ago
    As opposed to what? Talking 1-100 person orgs.
  • zhte415 5y ago
    backend being the key word. Just CRUD but with React front ends that do not a lot more than before.

  Meh, my stack is laravel hosted on docker containers. PHP, Redis, MariaDB and a makefile to run docker-compose commands. Nothing wrong with it tbh, it runs on a VPS

  PHP has evolved, it less of an injection vulnerability factory now, and MariaDB is the new MySQL. As usual computers became cheaper and more powerful, maybe not as much as we could have hoped in 2010 but SSDs made up for the slow rate of progress in CPUs. All that to say that PHP + MySQL/MariaDB has evolved will get you much further than it did in 2010 without losing its simplicity. Current trends are backed by tech giants working with millions of servers and billions of users, and they push for technologies that fit their use cases. They goal is not to make a one man shop.
