Comment on What is a Web Framework?parent

Couldn't resist!!! :P

Apache? Python? Why!?

Nginx maybe?

  http {
    upstream database {
        postgres_server  127.0.0.1 dbname=test user=test password=test;
     }

     server {
         location / {
             postgres_pass   database;
             postgres_query  "SELECT * FROM cats";
             rds_json on;
         }
     }
  }

I'm actually using it... (and planning to use for much deeper things tho).

Because software engineering should happen with programming languages plus service engines, the service engine should not be the total replacement for all.

Should not be the total replacement for all because?

Also, you could use LUA with nginx to increase the flexibility (if the lack of it was what you mean).

OpenResty[0] is a web application framework that consists of nginx and a bunch of plugins, including Lua scripting.

Why not, _if_ you are operating at such scale that the extra performance outweighs any additional development/maintenance cost/complexity?

I think this is what Taobao uses/used: https://github.com/alibaba/tengine
