Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
Don't build a distributed monolith. Learn the essential microservices patterns—Gateway, Circuit Breaker, and Saga—that keep systems stable when the network betrays you. Written for the post-Schrems II landscape.
A battle-hardened look at deploying microservices in 2020. We dismantle the hype, fix your NGINX configs, address Schrems II compliance in Norway, and explain why your 'cloud' provider is likely killing your API performance.
Manual deployments are a ticking time bomb. Learn how to implement a robust GitOps workflow using ArgoCD and Kubernetes 1.19, ensuring compliance with Schrems II while minimizing drift on your Norwegian infrastructure.
Green dashboards don't mean happy users. We dissect why 'CPU Steal' and I/O latency are the silent killers of Norwegian deployments, and why the Schrems II ruling makes self-hosted monitoring on local KVM infrastructure the only legally safe bet in late 2020.
Why your "All Systems Green" dashboard is lying to you. We dissect the shift from passive monitoring to active observability, the impact of Schrems II on your log data, and how to host a compliant stack in Norway.
Alert fatigue is killing your DevOps team. Learn how to architect a self-hosted Prometheus and Grafana stack on KVM, ensuring GDPR compliance post-Schrems II while eliminating 'noisy neighbor' false positives.
Stop relying on passive ping checks. A battle-hardened guide to implementing Prometheus, Grafana, and accurate I/O metering on Norwegian soil, ensuring your stack survives the 2020 traffic surge.
Is Kubernetes overkill? Is Docker Swarm dead? We benchmark orchestration overhead, analyze the impact of the Schrems II ruling on hosting choices, and explain why NVMe latency is the silent killer of k8s clusters.
Moving to microservices isn't just about code; it's about infrastructure survival. We analyze battle-tested patterns (Strangler, Circuit Breaker) and the critical role of NVMe storage and Norwegian data sovereignty in late 2020.
Schrems II changed the game for data sovereignty in Europe. We benchmark Kubernetes v1.19 against Docker Swarm on local NVMe infrastructure to determine what actually survives production loads without the complexity tax.
Manual deployments are a liability. In a post-Schrems II world, learn how to implement a pull-based GitOps workflow using ArgoCD on Kubernetes, ensuring compliance and stability in Norwegian infrastructure.
Serverless architecture is an operational model, not a vendor product. Learn how to deploy OpenFaaS on high-performance CoolVDS instances to circumvent Schrems II compliance issues and eliminate cold starts.
A deep dive into K8s networking primitives, CNI selection, and why low-latency hardware matters more than your mesh configuration. Written for engineers tired of debugging IPTables.
Forget the 5G hype. Here is how to build a pragmatic 'Near Edge' infrastructure today using NVMe-backed VDS, WireGuard, and optimized MQTT brokers in Oslo.
Architecting microservices isn't just about splitting code; it's about managing failure and latency. We break down the Sidecar and Circuit Breaker patterns, discuss the post-Schrems II legal landscape for Norwegian devs, and explain why your choice of VPS virtualization defines your cluster's stability.
Cloud bills exploded in 2020? Learn specific strategies to audit idle resources, eliminate egress fees, and solve the Schrems II compliance headache by leveraging Norwegian infrastructure.
A battle-hardened guide to deploying microservices in the post-Schrems II era. We cover API gateways, circuit breakers, and why underlying hardware latency matters more than your code.
Containers aren't micro-VMs. Here is a battle-hardened guide to securing your Docker and Kubernetes payloads, adhering to Schrems II compliance, and preventing runtime exploits on Norwegian infrastructure.
Microservices are great until you have to debug them. We break down the implementation of Istio for mTLS and observability, ensuring your Norwegian infrastructure complies with Schrems II without killing latency.
Cloud bills are skyrocketing. From identifying zombie resources to leveraging Norwegian compliance for cost savings, here is a pragmatic guide to slashing infrastructure TCO without sacrificing performance.
With the recent Schrems II ruling killing the Privacy Shield, reliance on US hyperscalers is a liability. Here is a pragmatic architectural guide to a hybrid multi-cloud setup using Terraform and WireGuard to keep your PII safe in Norway.
Stop guessing why your production environment is slow. We dive deep into CPU Steal time, I/O bottlenecks, and deploying a Prometheus stack on Ubuntu 20.04 to visualize the truth.
Stop relying on managed cloud magic. A deep dive into CNI choices, IPVS vs. Iptables, and minimizing latency for Kubernetes clusters running on raw VPS infrastructure.
Container isolation is a myth if you're running as root. In this deep dive, we dismantle common Docker security failures, analyze the impact of Schrems II on your hosting choices, and show you how to lock down your stack before it hits production.
A battle-hardened look at K8s networking in late 2020. From CNI choices and IPVS optimization to handling GDPR fallout (Schrems II) with local Norwegian infrastructure.
Serverless promises infinite scale, but at what cost? We explore architectural patterns for deploying self-hosted FaaS on Norwegian infrastructure to solve latency, cost, and the data sovereignty challenges of 2020.
Vendor lock-in and the recent Schrems II ruling have made public cloud FaaS risky for European data. Here is a pragmatic architectural pattern for deploying OpenFaaS on high-performance NVMe VPS infrastructure in Norway.
A deep dive into Kubernetes networking architecture, CNI selection, and troubleshooting latency in a post-Schrems II world. Learn how to optimize packet flow on Norwegian infrastructure.
Public cloud serverless functions promise infinite scale but deliver unpredictable costs and data sovereignty nightmares. In the wake of Schrems II, here is how to build a high-performance, compliant FaaS platform on your own infrastructure.
Microservices solve code complexity but introduce network chaos. This guide covers deploying Istio 1.7 on Kubernetes to solve mTLS requirements post-Schrems II, manage traffic shaping, and why raw compute power determines mesh stability.
