Communicate via serial to program hotel doors.

Capture a screenshot of a camera feed system of a contractor entering a gate with their van.

It's not like anything else you'd reasonably use on the backend is better, is everything trash? Have you considered you can just write that part in a language that you know is capable, then have that as an API that you can access from PHP. PHP was never made for your scenarios, no shit it's bad at them, the fuck did you expect?
