Choosing cms to work with nginx
I'd hate to choose a cms like wordpress and have all of my memory/speed savings fly out the windows because of bad code that isn't optimized to use the database well. (random example, not judging WP)
Any recommendations for a well performing cms system using nginx? I'm using php-fpm atm but willing to try new languages and database systems. Worse that can happen is I have another blurb to add to my resume
As always I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere. I swear I did research before asking! Most of the articles I found were about installing nginx with X piece of software, but very little discussion about choosing things that work well with nginx.

More seriously…
Since nginx is extremely good at serving static files, a static site generator like JekyllHyde
By the way, good ol' WordPress with the Super Cache plugin (which generates static files) works pretty well, as long as you get the rewrite rules right.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
I never used Wordpress, so I can't offer a comparison. Another one is Joomla (I never used that one either).
I do suggest trying Drupal and Joomla on a test site (or under yoursite.com/cms-test or something similar) to see if you like them. You can always remove them if you don't
It's based on the zend framework and is exceptionally well coded. All available addons are reviewed for quality before being allowed to be displayed. It's a breeze to use and as powerful as anything short of an actual MVC framework.
A lot of the best addons and themes are commercial though. The result is that they are both high quality and kinda pricey.
