I am developing PHP plugins for CMS systems that at the moment communicates with my LAMP (PHP server) setup. As I am about to rewrite my server and PHP plugins and I am looking for a way to bypass the server konfiguration, maintaining and so on.
The server receives JSON, saves information from the JSON to my MySQL database, creates new JSON calls to external API's handles the response, saves part of it to the database. Merges pdf files from the different API's and creates a final JSON response to the CMS plugins.
My questions is in regards to a big update of my modules; Is there a setup that allows me to disgard my LAMP setup and use a cloud service? I have looked at Apigee and Parse but I don't know if they can make external API calls and handle the response of the API's?
If this can be done is it using Node.js?
Thanks.
Certainly Apigee can make outbound calls either through our policy based proxies or with a Node based proxy. Passivation of data can be accomplished through our KVM policies.
You can try it out with the free offering and see if it makes sense.
