* We'll use Nginx as a reverse proxy. This will allow us to have virtual hosting, more efficient static file serving (possibly from a separate domain), and zero-downtime deployments.
Its important to note that this level of infrastrucure can provide SSL also. Pound can also be used in place of Nginx as a lighter-weight alternative if all of Nginx's features aren't needed. AWS provides their own load balancer: that can be used instead of Pound. It all looks good! With respect to Lyndon's questions of building, the ideal is to spin up a build server identical to production, build, copy the new application over, start the new app, and turn off the build server. Jeremy is mentoring a Haskell build server GSoC project.
