Solution stack

Solution stack

In computing, a solution stack is a set of software subsystems or components needed to deliver a fully functional "solution", e.g. a product or service.

For example, to develop a web application, the designer needs to use an operating system, web server, database and programming language.One of the many possible solution stacks available is "LAMP":

* Linux (the operating system);
* Apache (the Web server);
* MySQL, (the database management system)
* Perl, PHP, and/or Python (scripting languages).

Another common stack is the Windows alternative to LAMP:
* Windows Server
* Internet Information Services
* Microsoft SQL Server
* ASP.NET

Recently (as the other layers became more tolerant of Windows) WAMP has become more popular as a more literal Windows alternative to LAMP, using:
* Windows
* Apache
* MySQL
* Perl, PHP or Python Similarly, MAMP for the Mac.

Another example is the OpenACS stack which comprises:
* Linux or Windows (the operating system);
* AOLserver (the Web server);
* PostgreSQL or Oracle (the database management system)
* Tcl (the scripting language).

In the Erlang world, there is also the LYME stack of:
* Linux
* Yaws, the web server;
* Mnesia, the database
* and Erlang itself, the programming language.

ee also

* Web application framework
* Content management framework
* Content management system
