Lumen likes LAPP for Lumenation

According to good ol’ First Coffee over there at TMCNet, Lumen Software, a vendor of CRM and commercial open source Saas solutions, has announced it will be employing the PostgreSQL-supported LAPP stack for its open source development platform Lumenation.

After consideration of PostgreSQL and MySQL, which is part of the LAMP stack, developers at Lumen found that the PostgreSQL database offered “a higher level of functionality and handled large amounts of data and traffic better than the alternatives.”

PostgreSQL is freely available for commercial purposes.
