Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about The Django and Ubuntu Intrepid Almanac, here is a quick summary:

This heavy tome of wisdom will guide you, keystroke by keystroke, through configuring a mod_wsgi, Postgres, memcached, Django server on Ubuntu Intrepid. Written for a complete command line beginner, but hopefully useful to everyone (I know I'll have to refer to it to remember how to add additional domains to my server as well ;).

Hi Oleg,

I've actually written a piece schedule for tomorrow morning that discusses the tradeoffs between single-server and multi-server architecture at a high level.

The argument for using Apache and mod_wsgi versus Nginx and FCGI is some combination of performance, reliability, ease of installation, flexibility, and familiarity. For me personally this equation usually turns up Apache and mod_wsgi (although until recently mod_python would have been in its place).

That said, I do think there are compelling reasons for using multi-server architecture over single server, which tomorrow's article should explain
