Every few months, someone asks us why we chose PHP for ERPS X. The answer is simple: modern PHP is incredible, and it's the best tool for what we're building.
PHP 8.3 Performance
PHP 8.3 with JIT compilation is remarkably fast. Our benchmarks show it outperforming Node.js for our specific workloads — especially database-heavy operations.
The Ecosystem
Laravel, Composer, PHPUnit — the PHP ecosystem is mature, well-documented, and battle-tested. We can build features faster because the tooling is excellent.
Hiring
PHP developers are abundant and experienced. We can find senior engineers who've built enterprise systems before, not just TODO apps.
