A NextJS Site with a SQL Backend It’s raining JavaScript frameworks! There are as many frameworks as there are free places to host your Javascript Framework based site. That only works for PHP if you’re willing to build a wordpress site. So before the rest of the free world decides to charge for their products like Heroku. I’m jumping on the bandwagon. I like NextJS. I’m going to run with that and hook it up to a SQL backend.

There’s a lot of PHP code out there. Wordpress, Drupal, Zend, Laravel. These are just a few of the untold endless frameworks. Even so, PHP has conspicuously been left out of the buzzword rich, serverless revolution. Today’s PHP developer might be asking, am I the last. A remaining holdout of a simpler, more complicated time. Maybe. Surely the last ALGOL developer questioned the end, before it came. Still there is a lot more PHP code out there than ALGOL, I’m guessing.
