Offsite backups are useless if your restoration time exceeds your RTO. A deep dive into compliant, high-speed disaster recovery architectures using KVM and NVMe storage in the Norwegian market.
Running containers as root is a recipe for disaster. This guide covers practical hardening techniques, from read-only filesystems to PodSecurityPolicies, tailored for Norway's strict compliance landscape.
Manual deployments are the enemy of uptime. Learn how to implement a rigid GitOps workflow using ArgoCD and Kubernetes 1.17, ensuring your Norwegian infrastructure remains immutable, audit-compliant, and resilient.
Default Nginx configurations will kill your API throughput. In this guide, we dissect kernel tuning, upstream keepalives, and the specific latency challenges of the Nordic network topology.
Is your application actually slow, or is it just the network? In this guide, we ditch the vanity metrics and build a robust monitoring stack using Prometheus, Grafana, and Linux system internals on high-performance NVMe infrastructure.
Serverless doesn't mean no servers; it means someone else's servers are billing you by the millisecond. Discover how to reclaim control, reduce latency to NIX, and ensure GDPR compliance by deploying OpenFaaS on high-performance NVMe KVM instances.
Stop managing production clusters manually. Learn how to implement a robust GitOps pipeline using ArgoCD, GitLab CI, and Terraform, specifically tailored for Norwegian compliance and high-performance KVM environments.
Stop guessing why your application hangs. From Prometheus endpoints to diagnosing disk I/O wait on NVMe, this guide covers the hard truths of Application Performance Monitoring that SaaS tools ignore.
Public cloud serverless functions promise simplicity but often deliver latency spikes and unpredictable bills. We explore architectural patterns for running OpenFaaS on high-performance NVMe VPS, combining the developer experience of serverless with the cost-control and GDPR compliance of private infrastructure.
