So im gonna start a website from scratch.. it will need some sort of database,not just static site... Im considering trying a new language and techs.... Im looking for suggestions, convince me!
For some background the site will be similar to https://aprs.fi in nature. There is an already written client that is in ruby that will talk to it through an API.
@bonifartius this particular application might be fine with a traditional relational DB... i do want to code it for high load, but that should be easy even with a traditional DB due to a pretty clear seperation between reading and writing
