It’s not fastbuild in particular that I don’t recommend, it’s sks-keyserver in 
general. It is single-threaded and so is only suitable to be run as a cluster 
behind a load balancer, and it is non-trivial to delete data from it (e.g. in 
response to a takedown request). There are still a few sites that run 
sks-keyserver in production, but for most people starting out now I recommend 
Hockeypuck.
