LAMP stack is a popular open source web platform commonly used to run dynamic web sites and servers. It includes Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Python/Perl and is considered by many platform of choice for development and deployment of high performance web applications which require a solid and reliable foundation.

The open source approach of Linux has meant that the operating system has been developed for a wide range of platforms, from desktop PCs to massive servers and mainframe hardware, all the way down to embedded systems. Thus, "old" or unusual hardware that is no longer OEM-supported can now be used to run Linux and to deploy LAMP applications.

The main benefit of all three of the languages in the LAMP stack, Perl, Python and PHP, is that they are "interpreted" languages. Being interpreted, rather than compiled, they are quick and easy to use. By combining a Web server (Apache), dynamic components (using Perl, Python, or PHP), and a database (MySQL) we can create a truly database-driven and dynamic Web site that is easy to update and provides rich functionality to support users.

• Flexibility: This allows you the flexibility to build and deploy applications in a method that suits you, not the supplier of the technology you are using.
• Customization: Because LAMP components are open source, they have built up a huge array of additional components and modules that provide additional functionality. The open source approach enables you to do the same, customizing components and functionality to suit your needs.
• Ease of Development: We can write powerful applications using LAMP technology in relatively few lines of code. Another huge advantage of using LAMP is that a developer can build an app locally and then deployed it onto the web.
• Ease of Deployment: For many developers, it’s the deployment of a web application that becomes a tricky exercise; especially when the programming language cannot be easily integrated with the server and database. But, there are no such problems with LAMP as PHP is a standard Apache module. This makes it easier to deploy LAMP web applications.
• Security: With many eyes developing the software and years of use by a wide range of users and community groups, LAMP technology is secure and stable. Problems are normally fixed very quickly, and without the need for a costly support contract.

• Building various types of web applications.
• Easily re-compile PHP or Apache for additional modules you require.
• Migration and porting of applications build in proprietary architecture to LAMP.
• Easily upgrade software versions to the required or latest releases when you need it
• Migration and porting of LAMP applications to other architectures like J2EE,and .Net.
• Testing services for LAMP applications.
• Better security and much higher performance.
