Varnish Cache
Just checking out the Varnish caching server, and noticing the stack they use to serve is Apache httpd, Nginx and MySQL AND Varnish. Using nginx and Varnish is a new one on me (given that I only just discovered Varnish, so I will report back more on how this can all work!
nginx the load balancer webserver
I am having a good look at the nginx load balancer and webserver. It achieved its 1.0 release back in April 2011, and it runs a significant number of high profile, high traffic websites including wordpress.com and mail.ru.
Netcraft reports that in December 2011 nginx held 8.21% of the server market for the worlds busiest sites.
