Best and cheapest WebAPI/RestFul/Web Services Implementation
I’m trying to create a web services for a project that I want to implement. I’m still on the design phase. I know how to program JAVA, PHP, and ASP.NET Core/MVC, and Javascript (not NodeJS). I’ve been trying to research on the Net (means Google) but the main question that I have is the cost of implementation. Eventually, I would like the API accessible publicly (securely). Most of my projects were internal. This is a personal project that I’d like to pursue hence I wanted it cheaper.
What I mean by cheaper is:
- Implementation Cost – Generally, Linux Servers are cheaper so I think ASP.NET Core/MVC is out for this. I’ve created a PHP Restful service at home but just don’t feel comfortable using PHP. I heard a lot about JAVA spring but not sure if it’s easy to implement (I’ve program Android Apps hence I said I know Java). I was looking at AWS and Azure but both are expensive (well just using the calculator)
- Maintenance – Since I’m use to Microsoft ecosystem I’m just not sure if it’s practical for me to learn a new framework. I’m willing to do it as long as Cost is cheap.
