title: Best Android backend for turn-based game?
body: <p>I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for the best backend for an android app with play similar to words with friends. Very turn based, sometimes over multiple days.</p>
  
  <p>The first solution that pops into my head is simple PHP/SQL with responses in JSON as it would be quite easy to implement. Although i am just wondering if anyone has any experience with this and can tell me if it has any big down sides. e.g. Poor scaling, few concurrent users, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Is PHP/SQL a good solution? Should i be looking more at a Java server using TCP/IP? Even for these bursts of messages?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
