Senior Cloud Engineer at Globant
Reliable hosting stack has supported long-term PHP website and application development
In my opinion, the best features LAMP Stack CentOS offers include a reliable and predictable solution for hosting PHP applications. The stability of the solutions and the CentOS and Red Hat release policy make it predictable for me, which ensures that I always have a tested and stable version in the official repositories. LAMP Stack CentOS has impacted my organization positively as it was the main stack for the development and hosting of the developed solutions for some of the companies. This impacted my teams and business outcomes as the whole business was based on the ability to release PHP-based applications, so it is basically one of the core services for the business.

Performance Testing And A PM Expert at ADM
Performance tests have been streamlined for analysis while query tuning still needs improvement
The technical support or community support for MariaDB on CentOS is bad. There is a main problem with all the companies that sell this kind of tool and services. The first level of support is the first one you reach. When you begin to have a more difficult problem, there is no one available because sometimes you need to update the call and recall on it. This is not good because when we have some big problem on the database, we need to have a database administrator, not a person who reads instructions on the screen. It is always the same problem. My rating is two.
