This is running the Linux real time kernel to help us achieve extremely low latency and I/O jitter. We've had to do a ton of fine tuning to get the latency as low as it is.
Our website is built on Ruby-on-Rails backed by Postgresql. We are using Resque for asynchronous jobs, and a Websocket/RabbitMQ solution to help with events in the browser and events else where in the backend.
Our JavaScript is a homegrown mess (jQuery and, ahem, 'business logic'). Having kept up with the latest web tech mostly through HN, I'd take the React/Flux plunge if starting from scratch; I'm still looking for an excuse to start using them anyway, even if just for part of the site!
Anyway, we are very excited to be starting the KickStarter for the JamBlaster, because it's your best way to get the latency low enough to have a really good jam session.
/me fingers crossed
