It's late 2019, and the orchestration wars are settling. We compare K8s against Swarm for Nordic deployments, analyze etcd sensitivity to disk I/O, and explain why your underlying VDS architecture matters more than your yaml config.
Moving from monolith to microservices isn't just a code change; it's an infrastructure war. We analyze circuit breakers, service discovery, and why NVMe storage in Norway is critical for distributed latency.
Is Kubernetes overkill for your startup? Is Docker Swarm dead after the Mirantis deal? A battle-hardened look at orchestration choices, latency realities at NIX, and why your etcd cluster hates your cheap HDD VPS.
It is Q4 2019, and the promise of 'cheaper cloud' has largely failed for high-traffic enterprises. This guide explores technical strategies to slash hosting overhead, from kernel-level tuning to leveraging Norwegian data sovereignty for GDPR compliance.
Move beyond the buzzwords. We analyze real-world edge computing use cases for the Norwegian market, from IoT aggregation to regional content delivery, using the tech stack available today.
Cloud bills are skyrocketing across Europe. This guide dissects the hidden costs of hyperscalers—from egress fees to CPU credits—and demonstrates how a return to high-performance VDS and rigorous configuration tuning can slash TCO by 40%.
Is your deployment pipeline bleeding money? Learn how to slash build times by 60% using self-hosted runners, kernel tuning, and high-performance infrastructure in Norway.
Manual deployments are the root cause of downtime. Learn how to implement a rigid GitOps pipeline using Kubernetes 1.16, ArgoCD, and GitLab CI, ensuring true infrastructure immutability on high-performance Norwegian KVM slices.
Downtime is obvious; latency is silent. Learn how to architect a robust monitoring stack using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK on high-performance infrastructure in 2019.
A battle-hardened guide to debugging CNI plugins, switching to IPVS, and reducing latency in production clusters. Written for DevOps engineers running k8s v1.16+ on bare metal or VPS.
A battle-hardened guide to debugging CNI chaos, optimizing Ingress, and ensuring your Norwegian K8s cluster doesn't choke on latency. Written for the DevOps engineer who hates 3 AM pager alerts.
Your developers are waiting on builds, not writing code. We dissect the hidden I/O latencies destroying your pipeline performance and how to fix them using KVM, NVMe, and proper caching strategies.
Microservices solve scalability but introduce networking nightmares. Learn how to deploy Istio v1.3 for traffic management and mTLS security on bare-metal KVM infrastructure, specifically tailored for Norwegian data privacy standards.
Is the public cloud's serverless promise a trap? We explore cost-effective, GDPR-compliant serverless patterns using OpenFaaS and KVM on high-performance infrastructure.
Is your AWS bill bleeding you dry? A pragmatic CTO's guide to reducing TCO, optimizing Linux performance, and leveraging Norwegian data sovereignty without the hyperscaler premium.
A battle-hardened comparison of container orchestrators. We strip away the hype to look at operational complexity, latency requirements, and why running K8s on cheap storage is a death sentence for your control plane.
Moving from monolith to microservices isn't just about Docker containers; it's about surviving network latency and data consistency. Here is a battle-hardened guide to architecture patterns that actually work in 2019.
It's late 2019, and if you are still relying on standard kube-proxy for network security, you are doing it wrong. We dive deep into implementing Cilium Network Policies to replace legacy iptables lists with high-performance eBPF, ensuring your Norwegian workloads stay compliant and fast.
Green dashboards often hide degraded performance. In this 2019 guide, we ditch legacy Nagios checks for a modern Prometheus and Grafana stack, specifically tuned for high-performance KVM environments.
Nagios says 'OK', but your customers are seeing 504s. Explore the critical shift from passive monitoring to active observability using the 2019 stack (Prometheus, ELK, Jaeger) and why high-performance infrastructure is the backbone of deep system visibility.
A battle-hardened guide to CNI selection, IPVS tuning, and ingress strategies for Kubernetes clusters in 2019. Learn why underlying infrastructure matters for latency.
Manual 'kubectl apply' is a disaster waiting to happen. Learn how to architect a resilient, pull-based GitOps pipeline using Flux and Helm 2, specifically tailored for high-compliance Nordic environments.
Breaking the monolith without breaking production. We analyze the API Gateway, Circuit Breaker, and Service Discovery patterns that actually scale on KVM infrastructure in 2019.
Serverless doesn't mean no servers; it means someone else's servers are billing you by the millisecond. We explore how to build a compliant, low-latency FaaS architecture in Norway using OpenFaaS and NVMe-backed VPS, bypassing the public cloud tax.
Microservices solve scaling but break networking. Learn how to deploy Istio 1.3 without destroying your latency budgets, and why underlying hardware choice determines mesh stability.
