I too would love to see some ideas on what others are doing for scaling in all aspects. There was another recent post looking for ideas on scaling the back end. As well there have been a number of discussions centered on the concept multiple database support, SQLRelay, SQL Alchemy ...
I'll start the discussion using my site and ideas as a reference. So here is my Django powered site http://www.sodahead.com. I wrote about the initial development in a blog located at http://www.sodahead.com/blog/30/ Please read the blog, it covers the core of the technology stack. SodaHead is a reasonably conventional social site. 100% content driven. We are ~6 weeks old so have not experienced heavy traffic yet but we built for capacity. We have made a number of changes to a number of aspects of Django to enable capacity and to scale. The biggest performance improvements were, making sure the schema was object centric and heavily leveraged surrogate keys, triggers for counting functions, Jetty/Solr for Full Text Search and memcache for all object caching AND all template caching. We have a reasonably conventional LAMP infrustructure located in a colo in LA. We are monitoring performance and tuning currently. I can throw out stats for the site, but as with all benchmarks and stats they can be tweaked for presentation. Solutions really depend on the problem domain and what you are trying to do.
