'{{Redirects|Software stack||Stack (disambiguation)#Computing}} {{refimprove|date=August 2014}} In [[computing]], a '''solution stack''' or '''software stack''' is a set of [[software]] subsystems or components needed to create a complete [[Computing platform|platform]] such that no additional software is needed to support applications. Applications are said to "run on" or "run on top of" the resulting platform. This definition of a ''[[platform (computing)|platform]]'' overlaps with what is known as ''[[system software]]''. For example, to develop a [[web application]] the architect defines the stack as the target [[operating system]], [[web server]], [[database]], and [[programming language]]. Another version of a software stack is operating system, [[middleware]], database, and applications.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/news/interview/0,289202,sid39_gci880604,00.html|title=Red Hat: Linux served at vertical data center dinner tables|last=Mimoso|first=Michael S.|date=24 February 2003|work=SearchEnterpriseLinux.com|accessdate=2009-08-09}}</ref> Regularly, the components of a software stack are developed by different developers independently from one another. Some components/subsystems of an overall system are chosen together often enough that the particular set is referred to by a name representing the whole, rather than by naming the parts. Typically, the name is an [[acronym]] representing the individual components. == Some common named stacks == ; BCHS<ref>[http://www.learnbchs.org/ learnbchs.org]</ref> : [[Berkeley Software Distribution|BSD]] (operating system) : [[C (programming language)|C]] (programming language) : httpd (web server) : [[SQLite]] (database) ;
