For those curious, the infra was mostly:
- a pair of back-end servers (the main site was an ancient Joomla install…), in a production / warm standby configuration;
- a couple dozen very thin VPSes acting as (micro-) caching reverse proxies; we called them "fasadas" (from Bosnian word for a façade);
- a bunch of scripts that tied it all together.
The stripped down and simplified nginx config for the fasadas lives as a FLOSS project here:
