> The problem is, it's not cool to talk about how our infrastructure is built on very straightforward LXC containers, managed by HAProxy, connected to a cluster of MySQL servers. The tech isn't bleeding edge enough to hear about on HN, so you end up not hearing about it.

And those are exactly the ones I want to hear about.

Like you I find the old, established tech choices to be good. New tech is fun to play with, but when I need to get work done and keep it running (for years) I take old every time.

Please write more on this!

Also, I like the interplay between new/risky tech in one area of your story and established in others. Pushing a manageable number of boundaries.
