Most of the current MongoDB drivers support routing read queries to the lowest latency replica set member - this solves part of the problem. Choice of database when planning a project is a more fundamental problem, knowing what to use and w

The problem with just using a simple CDN (i.e. one without proper ESI support like CloudFront) is that for dynamic content is cached at a fixed TTL per URI, which for 'apps' is likely to be very short. This means your content will expire an

It's not as simple as using Heroku, but it's not that hard. If you don't deploy very often - using baked AMI's is the easiest solution. Automating your build / deployment process to do this worth the effort in the longer run - especially if

This is some old stuff - he was using the non-recommended way of replicating (master-slave, not replica sets), plus it's a bug filed against 1.8 which isn't the current stable.

I doubt it's that: I would have worked out the target sites hosts (looking up the IP), made a list, worked out the most popular by value - probably worked out it was linode and gone from there...once in, I'd bet it's a simple task of search
