Question

We are building a new PHP project, and we heard of the new HHVM, we wanted to deploy our application on it, but we are not sure if it is ready for production environments or not?

We have a laravel 4 application with MySQL and MongoDB as the databases.

Our application is concerned alot about performance and speed of requests because it is a financial application.

Is HHVM production ready ? if it is not and we should wait, how easy will it be to migrate to it after we are live when it becomes production ready, will it break our code? and most of all will PHP be on HHVM for a good while after hack is in town ? is there any live examples of it (other than FB)?, We really like HHVMs performance, but we can't risk the whole project goin down after production.

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

My opinion:

I simply don't trust such a new one (Hack) and can't risk until it's become available or accepted by the community. It's not sure whether it'll gain trust or not. You are going to reduce the support for your project if you need any during the development, not enough resources and fellow developers, AFAIK.

I think, It's risky and you should think again about it. An article about Hack.

OTHER TIPS

I do not risk moving my current project to it yet, but I plan to enable CI-tests using HHVM (parallel to usual PHP-5.5 tests) really soon. This way I will know when the project is compatible and plan transition
