Re: 5250 to Web Interface / Application Modernization

In my experience when you do this 2 things happen:
- the latency between the database and the front end becomes an issue
- the (perceived) differences in the i database become an issue
Either way, the pressure to remove the i from the equation can seem like an
easy fix for perfomance issues

Don't underestimate the value of having your application layer right next
to your database

I feel that the workstation record-write, record-read paradigm is not
fitting for web interfaces.

The handwriting is on the wall. Make your IBM i a behind-the-firewall Db2
black box that serves up data requests via Node.js or something to a
front-end web server running on Linux.
