Will try to have it run with node.js's forever daemon next.
watch what happens next... thats the trojan, unzips automatically in safari.
thats how i survived a mini fb app thatwent from zero to 44 million users in 7 days... rackspace cloud + memcache + redis insert&update queue + round robin. after a month i even killed the rackspace cloud interface and api with over 80 nodes and growing. had to get the memory limit on my account raised twice. peak were around 40k req/sec. after the second month we moved it to four bulky servers (16 core, raid5, 32gb ram) each cost around 12k dollar.
the whole secret is caching. everything, everywhere and as much as possible.
