The Myth of Extremely Complex Highload
summary
Argues that the “highload” label is overhyped and unnecessary for most projects, claiming that modern server performance means 95% of so-called high-load systems can be built without special highload architectures. Recommends using simple stacks like PHP + MySQL plus common-sense practices and very basic optimization rules rather than advanced conference-level techniques.
