[Koha-devel] Time to think Plack?

[Petter Goksøyr Åsen]

This sounds like music in my ears:)

After using Koha with Plack I never ever want to go back to CGI (which is unbearably slow in my opinion).

I want to encourage all you libraries out there who haven't tried out Plack yet - do it! There are some bugs still (esp. related to caching) - but together we can find & fix them faster :)

Hi everyone, I just wanted to raise some questions, that might be worth thinking about at the KohaCon16 hackfest, or just here.

Koha has been a CGI app for ages. And we slowly made it work under Plack to gain performance. We did so, by running it inside a CGI emulation context (i.e. CGI::Emulate::PSGI [1]). We even wired all stuff so packages can take advantage of Plack out of the box (just not enabled by default, that'd be a next future step).

We then introduced a Mojolicious implementation of (a beggining of) a REST API.

Is it time to start thinking of Koha as a Plack app and focus on that?
