Stairtower is a (pretty alpha) version of MongoDB, but written in PHP instead of a C or C++.
This allows it more flexibility and better portability, letting developers add it to any of their projects without having to install it on the server like other applications.
You can just add it to your project as a third-party PHP library, without having to contact the server owner or the hosting company for a better, much expensive plan.
This allows Stairtower to be run on shared hosting environments, where MongoDB or Redis aren't installed by default.
Of course Stairtower is nowhere near the capabilities and power of those two engines, but barely provides basic functionality at this point.
The database is built on the React PHP framework, provides its own RESTful API for external interaction, and uses PHP's built-in JSON processing capabilities.
Requirements:
- PHP 5.4 or higher
