I really love articles like this. There's so much value in quickly summarizing years of experience with proven tools. This writeup in particular is great because it starts with simple architectures and progresses to horizontal scaling with a load balancer -- it really is 75% of what you'd need to actually implement a production-ready application backend, with clear links to get the other 25%.

The article and meaningful HN comments where people share their experiences is especially valuable

+1 and I'm sure the article could inspire others to do the same with other stacks. I like how it compares to other similar stack where OS is CentOS, serverside lang is just PHP and some other layers added, like HAProxy and/or Varnish cache, or even Apache or Lighttpd instead of the omnipresent Nginx for the webserver
