If you want a legacy php application that scales horribly but is easy to host than php is perfect. If you would like to build a modern application that scales well than I would say you are far off your target. People here they host their applications on shared hosts. Half of them don't even know or understand what the cloud is. They choose to ignore it. Instead they decide to create frameworks based on antiquated languages. Even worse they decide to perpetuate that software through young minded human beings that don't know any better. CI has been around for what… my god I think now nearly 10 years. In those nearly 10 years nothing has really changed. I mean they have changed some things but nothing really meaningful has changed. Web development in the last 10 years has changed very much. You ask about CI4. When what you really should be asking is about PHP. Many vendors have completely stopped supporting PHP. AWS doesn't support PHP in their serverless environment. In addition to the fact that I can't agree with cilover85 about nothing changed in 10 years in CI (haven't you looked at the source code of CI4 on at least GitHub without downloading anything?) I want to explain a couple of areas no modern framework can still beat the old timers for the reasons I described below. Angular + Node.JS or React-based app development is considered modern web development today, here are some of the issues they still have to date:
