Jonathan,
It is certainly slower than I would like.
The Plack support in Koha wasn’t great last time I tried it. I’m curious to try
it again now, since people have worked on it more. I have used Plack for
non-Koha apps and it’s worked great, so I’d like to move away from CGI.
I’m planning to use Plack for dedicated servers, but for larger multitenant
deployments, I’m wary of the resources that Starman would require when
aggregated all together. While higher performance would be great, it certainly
comes at the cost of resources. But… I haven’t tried that out recently, so I’m
keen to see what the actual memory requirements will be.

David,
I cannot imagine Koha without Plack, it must be so slow... unless you run very
old versions.
The wiki page is there since years and the psgi in our codebase as well (the
one outside the debian directory). Did you only try once to read the wiki page,
modify the apache config and run starman or plackup with the psgi file?
Before the debian package was ready for Plack, I was doing that (since at least
2014).
You really should compare the performance with and without Plack...

I've been avoiding Plack because we don't use Debian, but at some point I'll
have to use it, and it would be great if it was community supported beyond just
Debian. I'm happy to help test things, so long as I can have some guidance on
what to do.
(I'd love for the multi-tenant management tools to be de-debianized as
well, but totally recognize that money/time is an obstacle. It's
something I'd like to look at more in the future myself, but occupied
with non-Koha projects at the moment...)

Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] Plack only
Are they really in sync ? They look very different (I cannot use the rest api
with misc/plack/koha.psgi for instance).
IMO a good starting point would be to move debian/templates/plack.psgi outside
of debian/ and make it the .psgi reference file for all types of install (and
remove misc/plack in the process).
Any thoughts ?

Good point, Julian. You are right.
Basically, we ship misc/plack/* which we keep in sync with
debian/templates/plack.psgi.
I would love to spend some time de-debianizing hte multi-tenant
management tools, but its been hard to find sponsorship or time for it.
Most people are comfortable with Debian it seems.

What about people that do not use Debian ? It seems that there is no
"standard" way to use Plack outside of the Debian world, and it looks
like 90% of https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Plack is outdated.
If we abandon CGI support, I think we should first provide a clear setup
documentation. I would happily rewrite the wiki page, but I'm not sure
of what to write (how to setup Plack on dev install for instance, or
'standard' install without debian packages).
Or maybe I'm missing some important up-to-date documentation about
Plack ?
