My company also uses Lazarus/FPC for the whole system we have (an 
internet affiliate network) that was originally written in Kylix.
It is Linux/Apache/MySQL server based. Most development and testing 
happens under Windows, then the web server part recompiled and retested 
under Linux before uploaded to the live server.
The external utility programs are only used on Windows clients (customer 
service, system maintenance, etc.) using secure SSH tunnels to the web 
servers via Putty (to access the data on the MySQL databases, etc.). 
These could be compiled for Linux also, it is just most people are 
familiar with Windows better.

All web pages are using the fpTemplate unit to generate the HTML 
responses. The web design layer this way is totally separated from the 
server programming side. The HTML people can beautify their pages as 
they like while using the available HTML tags provided on the server 
side to display live data from the databases.
You can find some basic examples on using the fpTemplate unit and 
template tags under the Lazarus directory

/lazarus/components/fpweb/demo/fptemplate/


Works like a charm.
