CakePHP vs Meteor: What are the differences?
What is CakePHP? 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.
What is Meteor? An ultra-simple, database-everywhere, data-on-the-wire, pure-Javascript web framework. A Meteor application is a mix of JavaScript that runs inside a client web browser, JavaScript that runs on the Meteor server inside a Node.js container, and all the supporting HTML fragments, CSS rules, and static assets.
CakePHP and Meteor can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
"Open source" is the top reason why over 34 developers like CakePHP, while over 244 developers mention "Real-time" as the leading cause for choosing Meteor.
CakePHP and Meteor are both open source tools. It seems that Meteor with 41.2K GitHub stars and 5.03K forks on GitHub has more adoption than CakePHP with 7.9K GitHub stars and 3.4K GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, Meteor has a broader approval, being mentioned in 195 company stacks & 156 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
Next.js is probably the most enjoyable React framework our team could have picked. The development is an extremely smooth process, the file structure is beautiful and organized, and the speed is no joke. Our work with Next.js comes out much faster than if it was built on pure React or frameworks alike. We were previously developing all of our projects in Meteor before making the switch. We left Meteor due to the slow compiler and website speed. We deploy all of our Next.js projects on Vercel.
This basically came down to two things: performance on compute-heavy tasks and a need for good tooling. We used to have a Meteor based Node.js application which worked great for RAD and getting a working prototype in a short time, but we felt pains trying to scale it, especially when doing anything involving crunching data, which Node sucks at. We also had bad experience with tooling support for doing large scale refactorings in Javascript compared to the best-in-class tools available for Java (IntelliJ). Given the heavy domain and very involved logic we wanted good tooling support to be able to do great refactorings that are just not possible in Javascript. Java is an old warhorse, but it performs fantastically and we have not regretted going down this route, avoiding "enterprise" smells and going as lightweight as we can, using Jdbi instead of Persistence API, a homegrown Actor Model library for massive concurrency, etc ...
