Varnish

Varnish Cache is a web accelerator also known as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. You can install it in front of any server that speaks HTTP and configure it to cache the content. Varnish Cache is really, really fast and will improve your website's speed. One of the essential merits of Varnish Cache is the flexibility of its domain-specific language, VCL, which enables you to specify how incoming requests should be dealt with.

Memcached

Memcached is a generic distributed memory caching system for increasing the loading speed of dynamic database-powered sites. It is used to decrease 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 client/server architecture. The Memcached memory caching system is employed by some of the most traffic-heavy web sites on the World Wide Web and is supported by famous web apps like Joomla and WordPress.

Node.js

Node.js is a platform for writing highly scalable Internet apps. Built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime, Node.js uses an event-based, asynchronous input/output model that makes it lightweight and effective, ideal for high-performance data-heavy Internet applications. Node.js uses Google's V8 JavaScript engine, libUV, and several built-in libraries.

InnoDB

InnoDB is the default storage engine for the MySQL open-source RDBMS. A storage engine is the principal software component that a DBMS uses to create, retrieve, update and delete data from a database. The latest release of InnoDB offers serious improvements in efficacy, security and usability. InnoDB provides the standard ACID-compliant database transaction features, along with declarative referential integrity support. It is included by default in most binary distributions from MySQL AB.
