The acronym LAMP refers to a solution stack of software programs, commonly free software programs, used together to run dynamic Web sites or servers:
The open source community and its culture of knowledge- and resource-sharing accelerates problem-solving. Community knowledgebases and libraries of sample application code help compress development time by enabling convenient reuse and adaptation.
The compact LAMP component stack simplifies deployment and reduces processing overhead. Very tight integration between PHP and Apache, for instance, eliminates the need for application server software and in many instances eliminates an entire physical server tier.
Because LAMP runs on a wide range of hardware platforms, users have maximum flexibility in deployment and server infrastructure design decisions. Of particular value is the option to deploy on clusters or grids of affordable x86-based servers. These utility computing architectures provide an optimized combination of efficient resource utilization, high availability, versatility and instant scalability.
The LAMP server stack has a lower bug density — the number of bugs per thousand lines of code — than a baseline of 32 open source projects analyzed, according to a 2006 study by Coverity, a maker of code — analysis tools.
Over the years Saturn has developed standards, frameworks and reusable components for LAMP development. This helps Saturn to deliver economic and efficient solutions based on the LAMP stack.
