Uptime is a vanity metric if your latency is killing conversion. A battle-hardened guide to implementing self-hosted observability (Prometheus & Grafana) on Linux VPS, addressing the recent Schrems II ruling and ensuring data sovereignty in Norway.
Microservices solve architectural problems but create networking nightmares. Learn how to deploy Istio 1.7 on high-performance infrastructure to handle mTLS, observability, and the new Schrems II compliance reality.
Cloud costs are bleeding European budgets dry. From kernel-level tuning to navigating the Schrems II legal minefield, here is a pragmatic CTO's guide to cutting hosting TCO by 40% without sacrificing IOPS.
Kubernetes networking feels like black magic until it breaks. We dissect the overlay tax, compare Calico vs. Flannel, and explain why underlying hardware dictates your cluster's latency.
Microservices networking is broken. Here is how to fix it using Istio 1.7 without destroying your latency, specifically tailored for Norwegian compliance standards and high-performance infrastructure.
Default container configurations are a liability. We dissect critical hardening techniques—from kernel capabilities to read-only filesystems—and explain why physical data residency in Norway is your safety net after the recent Privacy Shield collapse.
Is your AWS bill bleeding your runway? In the wake of the Schrems II ruling, the 'Hyperscaler Tax' isn't just financial—it's legal. We break down actionable strategies to slash TCO, from kernel-level tuning to strategic repatriation of data to Norway.
A battle-hardened comparison of Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Nomad from a post-Schrems II perspective. We analyze complexity, overhead, and why underlying NVMe storage matters more than your scheduler choice.
The EU-US Privacy Shield is dead. Stop sending your metrics to US SaaS providers. Here is how to build a battle-hardened, self-hosted monitoring stack on high-performance NVMe VPS in Oslo.
Public cloud serverless promises infinite scale but delivers vendor lock-in and post-Schrems II legal headaches. Learn to deploy a sovereign serverless architecture using OpenFaaS and K3s on high-performance NVMe infrastructure without sacrificing control.
It is September 2020. Your Nagios checks are green, but customers are complaining about timeouts. We dismantle the difference between monitoring and observability, discuss the impact of Schrems II on your data pipelines, and show you how to self-host the 'Three Pillars' on high-performance infrastructure in Norway.
Monitoring tells you the server is online. Observability tells you why the API latency spikes only during Oslo checkout hours. We break down the transition from Nagios-style checks to high-cardinality debugging with Prometheus and Loki in a post-Schrems II world.
A battle-hardened guide to optimizing Kubernetes networking in 2020. We strip away the hype to focus on CNI selection, IPVS vs. iptables, and why the Schrems II ruling makes Norwegian infrastructure the only safe bet for your data.
The EU-US Privacy Shield is dead. Learn how to architect a compliant, high-performance monitoring stack using Prometheus and Grafana on Norwegian infrastructure without sacrificing IOPS.
Serverless doesn't have to mean vendor lock-in or GDPR nightmares. Learn how to deploy scalable FaaS patterns using OpenFaaS and K3s on high-performance infrastructure, keeping your data strictly within Norwegian borders.
Centralized cloud architectures are failing modern low-latency demands. From the Schrems II ruling to IoT data aggregation, we analyze why moving compute to the Norwegian edge is the pragmatic move for 2020.
A battle-hardened comparison of container orchestrators for European DevOps teams. We analyze performance, complexity, and the critical impact of the recent Privacy Shield invalidation on your hosting choices.
Forget the buzzwords. Here is how to deploy robust edge computing nodes for IoT aggregation and low-latency APIs in 2020, ensuring GDPR compliance and sub-5ms response times within the Nordic grid.
A battle-hardened comparison of container orchestrators for Nordic dev teams. We analyze K8s, Swarm, and Nomad through the lens of performance, IOPS requirements, and the recent data sovereignty legal shifts.
Microservices solve scaling issues but introduce network hell. In light of the recent Schrems II ruling, we analyze how to architect resilient systems on Norwegian infrastructure without relying on US public clouds.
The 'No Ops' promise of serverless often hides vendor lock-in and compliance nightmares. Following the Schrems II ruling, relying on US-based FaaS is risky. Here is how to build a high-performance, self-hosted serverless stack using OpenFaaS, K3s, and NVMe infrastructure.
The invalidation of the Privacy Shield changed the compliance map overnight. We explore how moving compute to the 'Edge'—specifically Oslo—solves both the GDPR headache and the latency problem.
With the EU-US Privacy Shield invalidated, your choice of infrastructure matters more than ever. We benchmark K8s, Swarm, and Nomad on bare-metal NVMe to see what actually performs in a post-Cloud Act world.
Monitoring tells you the server is online. Observability tells you why the checkout API times out every Tuesday at 03:00. We explore the critical shift for Nordic DevOps in the post-Schrems II landscape.
Escape the public cloud billing trap and data sovereignty nightmares. Learn how to deploy a high-performance, self-hosted serverless architecture using OpenFaaS and Docker Swarm on bare-metal capable VDS infrastructure.
Architecting for failure in a distributed world. We analyze Circuit Breakers, Sidecars, and the specific infrastructure requirements needed to keep microservices from turning into a distributed monolith. Written for the post-Schrems II reality.
With the Privacy Shield invalidated just days ago, relying on a single US-based cloud is now a compliance nightmare. Here is a pragmatic, code-heavy guide to building a hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure that keeps your data legally grounded in Norway while leveraging global redundancy.
Is Kubernetes overkill for your workload? We benchmark orchestration overhead, analyze the impact of the recent Privacy Shield invalidation on your hosting choice, and look at why NVMe latency is the silent killer of cluster performance.
