The CLAMP Stack

The text discusses the LAMP Stack, which is a popular foundation for many internet applications, including those from companies like Google and Facebook. It consists of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Some prefer Python over PHP and Postgres over MySQL, but the core concept remains the same. Recently, the "CLAMP" stack has emerged, combining CloudFlare with LAMP to enhance scalability on a global network. CloudFlare reduces the load on a typical LAMP server by nearly 70%, allowing for more efficient use of resources. Integration with top hosting providers makes it easier to transition from LAMP to CLAMP.
