| Currently the whole OzBargain main site sits on a few KVM VPS at Binary Lane (4GB-8GB RAM, 60GB-100GB hard disk) -- two running replicated MySQL & Redis, and the another one running the rest of stack. Nginx on port 80/443 handles all the HTTP requests, and then pass the requests to either Drupal/PHP via FastCGI, or to customised Python/Tornado based server via proxy. MySQL is the main database used, and Redis is used for session storage, in memory cache and blocking queues. Blocking queues are used to let front-end processes send asynchronous commands to backend processes, which is also implemented in Python. | Currently the whole OzBargain main site sits on a few KVM VPS at Binary Lane (4GB-8GB RAM, 60GB-100GB hard disk) -- two running replicated MySQL & Redis, and the another one running the rest of stack.
