Hello guys, i was wondering if anyone has used Codeigniter for projects hosted on a Platform as a Service provider, like fortrabbit or platform.sh ?
I am planning to use fortrabbit and there are a few things to consider.
1) The load balancers might serve the application from different servers during the same user session, so sessions need to be persisted using memcached or the database instead of files. I will use memcached since it performs better and fortrabbit provides it out of the box.
2) The filesystem cannot be used to store runtime data, like user uploads or logs, since during each deployment the whole local storage gets whipped and replaced. They call this ephemeral storage. To prevent these kind of files from being removed they provide an Object Storage Component which has an additional cost and requires using their own API. My application does not require user uploads but i do want to keep CI logs.
3) These providers do not include email hosting, so i will need to use another company for that. Any suggestions for email hosting?
That's it basically, i would love to hear some suggestions or advice regarding these three points.
If you have experience with any other php cloud hosting provider, please leave a comment too.
Thanks in advance!
