php VS swc-node

PHP Runtime for Vercel

Our application is essentially a single serverless function, which we'll create next. We use the community vercel-php runtime to set up the environment and automatically install dependencies with Composer.

But there’s an open source php run time for Vercel which you can try: https://github.com/vercel-community/php

Fun fact, you can actually write PHP function on Vercel :)

In this set up we are using the community runtime for PHP called vercel-php.

Vercel Runtime PHP talvez possa te ajudar

I found a vercel php runtime. It’s not maintained by them, so I’m not sure if it has any quirks: https://github.com/juicyfx/vercel-php

swc-node is much faster. No typechecking but you can have that running as a separate process with typescript in watch mode. Basically never have to wait for compiles or typechecking checking then.

fwiw swc has an official loader: https://github.com/swc-project/swc-node

I actually just switched my team's app over to use https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/swc-node for our Jest tests, but if we're going to upgrade to Next 12 it'd be nice to reuse whatever's included there.

I actually upgraded my team's Jest config to use https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/swc-node a few weeks ago. However, our Jenkins CI agents run RHEL7, and neither of the Linux binary targets would run. The `x64-gnu` binary needed a `GLIBC_2_23` symbol when only 2.18 was available, and the `x64-musl` binary had no `musl-libc` on the machine. I don't own the Jenkins agents, so I couldn't install other deps myself.

I ended up building `musl-libc` from source on another RHEL7 agent, committed the `.so` to our repo, and added that to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` in our Jenkinsfile, and actually got that working.

I did see some mentions that Rust could build to target an older GLibc ( https://kobzol.github.io/rust/ci/2021/05/07/building-rust-bi... ), so I'm curious if Next is going to use copies of SWC built that way for better compat or if it will require more workarounds on my part.

I'm very curious if the Next SWC binaries
