LEMP is an acronym for Linux, Nginx, MySQL, and PHP. While it replaces 'A' for Apache in the LAMP, it is pretty much similar to it. It can be a great alternative to developers who are comfortable with Nginx over Apache. That's the major difference between LEMP and LAMP solutions. 

Why Nginx over Apache?

As Nginx was able to address scalability and performance issues related with Apache, it has become a widely popular web server application. It can be event-driven, asynchronous and non-blocking approach and doesn't create new processes for each web request. Also having an internal PHP code compiler, there is no need for PHP module. Even while using the same set of hardware, Nginx is more efficient and quicker than Apache to process and handle larger loads.
