I use nginx because it is very light weight. Where Apache tries to include everything in the web server, nginx opts to have external programs/facilities take care of that so the web server can focus on efficiently serving web pages. While this can seem inefficient, it limits the number of new bugs found in the web server, which is the element that faces the client most directly.

I starting using PostgreSQL because It was the best freeware database that supported full ACID and transactions... even DDL changes within transactions!
