Also caching all the things. I'm not sure how arc would integrate with memcached though, for after some googling, it doesn't appear to have any bindings already written. Not surprising due to the tiny adoption of it. For a short term bandage, varnish doesn't really care what's upstream of it, I believe.

Unfortunately, there are some serious issues that come from adopting an un-adopted language. And I think that's why reddit moved to python. Not saying it won't work, just saying it's a lot more work to make it work. It's certainly important for people to experiment with less widely used languages - that's how movements are formed.

Yeah. I've found the cheapest and easiest quick fix is to setup with Cloud Flare. Their free tier is still a pretty good CDN offering.

Good point, I've heard nice things about them. For mk's sanity's sake, I hope a change in toolsets isn't required. That would be a big effort.

Yeah that's why things like Varnish (which still required work and $) and Cloud Flare (which is stupid simple to setup) are so good because they are generally back-end agnostic.

Hm, why would varnish require money? Unless you're going by the fact that time = money. It is open source...

In that you need to buy/rent the servers to install it on.
