That link was pretty interesting.

Having to explicitly declare thread local access is a clever hack.

I also wonder what database they use (if any).

Did they also build their own http stack?

They use in-memory hash tables, which works since the whole site can be in memory.

Originally they did build their own http stack but switched to nginx for a reverse proxy. On the other hand I'm not sure how much they lean on nginx's facilities.
