I am using openresty,couchdb and jquery.

Openresty because it so much fun :) It uses lua which is a very pleasant language to work with (I love the idea of multiple return values from functions) and it built on top of nginx which is a big win for me since I always use nginx in front of my app server.

With openresty I can use nginx both as an app server and as a proxy. I think that if anyone is already using nginx they should look into openresty because it opens up so many possibilities.

couchdb because of it's ease of use. It has a simple http api that works well with openresty's `location.capture/capture_multi` capabilities. It has a server side javascript environment which can be used to validate data/render templates etc,the common js module system is very capable. It also gives me an excuse to have erlang in my stack, ready just in case.

jquery because it is reliable. The other javascript framework that I like is knockout js but I use it only when I need to have a complex client side logic and knockout js works well with jquery.
