I agree completely here. Many of my dev1s want to use the latest greatest stuff, but you will most likely not find those technologies in large stable production systems unless to facilitate some one-off service or piece of architecture that does not need SLAs.
I remember a slew of small tech companies having issues when they decided to build out there app stack with nginx fronting a nosql hotness which inevitably led to overload scenarios because of the lack of constraints/scalability concerns.
Please note : this was years ago, and I know that nginx is a great web server and mongo is a great nosql db, but without a focus on scalability, you can end up with a large headache.
