I worked for an ecommerce startup in 1998/1999 that was founded in 1997. The app was built in Perl with (by 1999) a MySQL backend.

But there were definitely applications for building larger websites, including ColdFusion[1] from Allaire and, infamously, Broadvision[2].

I remember both of these, especially BroadVision which was the biggest most overpriced piece of shit we ever worked with. We used to call it FraudVision
