Anyone have experience running PHP-based daemons or things like that? If your React/NodePHP-application crashes on a 'Allowed memory size exhausted' every two days, it'll get old quick.
We chose PHP because it was the only technology supported in the company, who didn't want to invest on consultancy, research, just do it now, you know.
It was fun, but eventually PHP bad memory management became the main issue, so we were restarting daemons that would crash at random times, often in the middle of some tasks, other times while idle.
Today, I would never create a new project like that using PHP, it doesn't make sense. PHP is great for templating, scripting, and there are some nice frameworks for the classic web applications. However each language has some limitations, an engineer should know much better than that.
