Building a Static Asset Cluster
At Project Fondue we've always used the venerable Apache for our webserver and up until now we didn't have anything special set-up for serving static assets. For a while now I've wanted to move to using Nginx to serve static content as it's generally considered to perform well, it's nice to use and has a low memory footprint.
In this post we take a look at what software was used to build this set-up and how it all goes together.
