If you've done any large scale deployment this is mostly bread and butter tech.


They've got at least three different programming ecosystems thrown together it looks like. Admittedly some of it may be legacy, but still most large environments I've had experience with have a bit more focused an approach. The more different moving parts you have, the more different things you have to head-scratch at when something breaks and you get a 3am page. ;)


Yeah, I could see a personal project using a good chunk of those. (Apache, nginx, memcached, MySQL, Varnish, PHP) It's definitely not outrageous to think Tumblr uses them all.
