Investigate adding memcache or elasticsearch to the server software configuration steps.

I don't yet have enough background knowledge to feel comfortable automating either, nor "well-defined" configuration for them.

I have decided against these tools, and will be removing mongodb and postgres installation from my automation.

Most good modern websites use static pages, since dynamic content is expensive especially at scale.

Due to the increasing number of available dbms solutions it is no-longer easy to setup one database technology that is readily usable by any number of solutions.

The growing number of DBMS solutions and the need to tailor each implementation to the problem being solved has eliminated the value added by automatically installing these packages.

Additionally, I loath dbms software since after 20+ years none of them have tried adding automated indexes, timestamping, tooling to properly and easily display size and load information, or (automated) scaling support within a network. If such a database did exist and became popular enough to be used by more than a select group, then I'd consider adding it to my process.
