For websites and internal web applications I use the following.
Framework:
- A bastardized modification of Django (bad choice, but I'm stuck with it). I'd really like to try Pyramid or Flask.
- Mako for templating.
Databases:
- PostgreSQL for primary data storage.
- Solr for full-text search.
- Redis for cached data.
Servers:
- Nginx for the front-end server.
- uWSGI for the application server (bridge between Nginx and Django). I'd like to try Nginx Unit.
Browser-side:
- jQuery for functionality.
- Bootstrap for base styles.
