Just curious what experiences others have had with hardware and hosting multi-process Node app stacks using MongoDB (or similar)? So far my testing has shown that a cluster of smaller (3 - i5's with 8GB Ram and 120GB SSD's) machines out performs a single massive server (4x4 with 64GB Ram and 120GB NAS fiber attached storage). This isn't too surprising since node basically allocates a single core per running process, but have others seen the same results? I know core speed will make a difference and other things come into play but what are the basic experiences, have I just been lucky so far?
Also, what is the best OS flavor to run for best support across libraries and other such things? So far I've tried MS Windows 2008 Server, Windows 7 Enterprise, and RHEL. Curious about best Linux flavor more than anything, experiences with one being any better than another, better support for install (RHEL sucks to install into) etc, etc, etc?
