Varnish

Varnish Cache is a web application accelerator also called as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. You can install it in front of any web server that speaks HTTP and configure it to cache the contents. Varnish Cache is really, really fast and will boost the speed of your web site. One of the main advantages of Varnish Cache is the flexibility of its configuration language, VCL, which allows you to specify how incoming requests should be tackled.

Memcached

Memcached is a generic distributed memory caching system for increasing the speed of dynamic database-driven websites. It is used to reduce the number of times an external data source (such as a database or API) is read by caching data and objects in RAM. The Memcached distributed memory caching system uses a two-tier architecture. The Memcached system is employed by some of the most traffic-hungry sites on the Internet and is supported by popular web apps like Joomla and WordPress.

Node.js

Node.js is a software system for writing scalable Internet applications. Written in JavaScript, Node.js uses an event-driven, asynchronous input/output model that makes it lightweight and effective, suitable for real-time content-rich network applications. Node.js uses Google's V8 JavaScript engine, libUV, and a number of built-in libraries.

InnoDB

InnoDB is the default storage engine for the MySQL open-source database management system. A storage engine is the primary software component that a DBMS uses to create, retrieve, update and delete data from a database. The latest release of InnoDB features significant improvements in performance, stability and functionality. InnoDB provides the standard ACID database transaction properties, along with foreign key support. InnoDB is included as standard in most binaries distributed by MySQL AB.
