I'm just back from YAPC at Ohio, YAPC being the Perl conference. I gave a talk on scaling Plack (a Perl version of the Rack Web interface/toolkit idea) applications using OpenSSI. Perl's thread interface is also implemented by a module that's implemented in terms of forked processes using IPC. This is one option for writing a distributed cache without the programming overhead of memcached. I wrote Plack middleware for doing session affinity (keeping user's sessions on the same host) which is necessary for frameworks based on coroutines (keeping execution contexts around for users). Plack worker-processes can be automatically or manually migrated. This is a question that I could answer for myself but haven't yet gotten around to (being busy with middlewares and hauling around UPS batteries), but are the OpenSSI kernels patched against Linux kernel exploits such as the somewhat recent protocol structure buffer overflow? I'm hoping to start handing out accounts on this thing and I need to figure out how much I need to vet my users.
