I have a been leading a development project of a database app that is
built on a LAMP-variant platform (it uses Gentoo Linux, Apache,
PostgreSQL AND PHP) along with some CPAN perl modules and MapServer.
We seem to have problems with updates to the individual LAMP tools
not working with the other LAMP tools. For example, if we update
Apache with a security update, then we experience with features in
the app not working in a perl mod or PHP etc.
I recently got back from a business trip, and I sat next to someone
on the airplane that does LAMP database application development. I
shared with him this experience, and he agreed with me that this is
an underlying problem with developing in a LAMP environment/platform.
This results in increasing our labor/time costs in maintaining the
infrastructure of the application. I would like to hear other
experiences with this issue - if any.
