Making your own contribution is thus just as easy as copying ideas from others and adapting them to your needs. For example, creating a high performance LAMP recipe for SlapOS consists of reusing a couple of existing recipes for Apache, MySQL, Varnish, ha-proxy and combining them so that the PHP application can be distributed across multiple servers sharing two MySQL databases configured in redundant mode. Increasing from 1 to 2 to 3 and then to 100 the number of Apache nodes which are instanciated on the SlapOS cloud is just a matter of changing a parameter of the recipe. SlapOS takes care of the rest.
