Ask HN: Whats the best scripting apart from PHP to code a blog

1 pointForFreedom4 comments

I have suggested and been asked to script a blog from scratch. I have done it before in PHP/MySQL. I want to know is PHP the best scripting or is there other?

And for the DB, since MySQL is slightly on the heavy side what is the other option.

Please let me know if you have queries.

Thanks in advance

PHP is easy but now a days I think NodeJS is better, I'm 100% in for NodeJS. All my new projects are in NodeJS and AWS Lambda.

Best Regards,

Why Lambda, why not a simple VPS?

Because I don't want to deal with scaling and I don't want to pay for the server for being up from midnight to 5 when no one is accessing the server, pay for what my users use.

Is there a framework?
