CakePHP vs Phoenix Framework: What are the differences?
Developers describe CakePHP as "The Rapid Development Framework for PHP". CakePHP makes building web applications simpler, faster, while requiring less code. A modern PHP 7 framework offering a flexible database access layer and a powerful scaffolding system. On the other hand, Phoenix Framework is detailed as "Most web frameworks make you choose between speed and a productive environment. Phoenix gives you both". Phoenix is a framework for building HTML5 apps, API backends and distributed systems. Written in Elixir, you get beautiful syntax, productive tooling and a fast runtime.
CakePHP and Phoenix Framework belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
"Open source" is the primary reason why developers consider CakePHP over the competitors, whereas "High performance" was stated as the key factor in picking Phoenix Framework.
CakePHP and Phoenix Framework are both open source tools. It seems that Phoenix Framework with 14K GitHub stars and 1.76K forks on GitHub has more adoption than CakePHP with 7.9K GitHub stars and 3.4K GitHub forks.
DNSBL.io, inkl, and The RealReal are some of the popular companies that use Phoenix Framework, whereas CakePHP is used by EventManager-Online.com, Swat.io, and Gymglish. Phoenix Framework has a broader approval, being mentioned in 73 company stacks & 46 developers stacks; compared to CakePHP, which is listed in 66 company stacks and 29 developer stacks.
Hi, Which tool will you recommend:
I need to build a web application, oriented to small businesses, like a small ERP. It will have intensive use of Sql to access a PostgreSQL database. It has to be secure, as it will handle information on customers, sales, inventory.
If you think another tool will be better, please let that know.
Thanks a lot
Laravel and Postgres will be the better solutions you can add more like Redis for caching and React/Vue for the frontend.
Check Spring, if security and reliability is needed along with Lots of Database , check Spring Data, spring web, spring security
Laravel works well in this context, you can build a secure and fast ERP using it with postgresql and all Laravel environment like caching, queues, jobs. And for frontend if you need productiviness I would go with Livewire to help
#rust #elixir So am creating a messenger with voice call capabilities app which the user signs up using phone number and so at first i wanted to use Actix so i learned Rust so i thought to myself because well its first i felt its a bit immature to use actix web even though some companies are using Rust but we cant really say the full potential of Rust in a full scale app for example in Discord both Elixir and Rust are used meaning there is equal need for them but for Elixir so many companies use it from Whatsapp, Wechat, etc and this means something for Rust is not ready to go full scale we cant assume all this possibilities when it come Rust. So i decided to go the Erlang way after alot of Thinking so Do you think i made the right decision?Am 19 year programmer so i assume am not experienced as you so your answer or comment would really valuable to me
