Thank U Stunna for dropping by. So, does it mean that till PD2 a few months ago PHP-PostgreSQL was doing fine in handling traffic ? I'm asking this because elsewhere another Dice site owner is moving from PHP to Java for better performance. Is PHP less efficient in handling concurrency just because it does not support threading like Java ? Then, how come FaceBook is running primarily on PHP ?
It's not that PHP or mySQL is necessarily bad, it can handle traffic just fine under the right conditions.Facebook and PHP can kinda be seen as a mistake from their end, they've put crazy amounts of money of compiling it to C++ to avoid the pitfalls of PHP. Node.js offers interesting and easy handling of async. PHP should have no effect on profit...
