If you were building a web app from scratch and you wanted it to be fast world-wide, what architectural decisions would you make? Using Linux, of course. In my case I have access to inexpensive DC space in the US and Europe. When a user makes a preference change in EU it should be changed everywhere, but it does not need to be instantaneous. As a matter of fact, what I have in mind should favor perceived front-end performance. I mean I'd prefer not to use a tool that adds 20ms of latency while data is replicated to another location.<div>
