Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
It is 2018, and Nagios checks are no longer enough. We dissect the critical shift from monitoring (is it up?) to observability (why is it slow?), focusing on the ELK stack, Prometheus, and the I/O demands of high-fidelity logging in a post-GDPR world.

Microservices solve code complexity but introduce network chaos. In this 2018 implementation guide, we deploy the newly released Istio 1.0 to secure and monitor traffic, while discussing why underlying hardware choices like NVMe and dedicated CPU cycles define your mesh's success.
Is your entire infrastructure beholden to a single US giant? In the wake of GDPR, that is a risk you cannot afford. We explore a hybrid architecture using Terraform 0.11 and KVM tunneling to secure data in Norway while leveraging global CDNs.
It is not a matter of if your server will fail, but when. In the wake of the May 2018 GDPR rollout, data loss is no longer just an operational inconvenience; it is a legal liability. Here is a battle-tested guide to automated recovery workflows, database consistency, and why NVMe storage matters for RTO.
Serverless is the buzzword of 2018, but vendor lock-in and cold starts are real killers. Here is how to build a compliant, low-latency FaaS platform on Norwegian infrastructure using OpenFaaS and NVMe VPS.
It’s 3 AM. Nagios says the server is up. Your users say the checkout is broken. We dissect the critical shift from monitoring to observability using the modern 2018 stack: Prometheus, ELK, and proper KVM infrastructure.
It is July 2018. Everyone wants Kubernetes, but few need the headache. We benchmark the big three orchestrators against the reality of latency, GDPR, and disk I/O.
Stop guessing why your application is slow. We dive deep into Application Performance Monitoring (APM) using the ELK Stack and Prometheus, specifically tailored for the GDPR-conscious Norwegian infrastructure landscape of mid-2018.
With GDPR fully enforced as of May 2018, relying solely on US-based hyperscalers is risky. Discover how to architect a robust multi-cloud setup using Terraform 0.11 and HAProxy, leveraging local NVMe performance in Norway.
Stop blaming your backend code for latency. In 2018, the bottleneck is your kernel configuration and your hypervisor. A battle-hardened guide to tuning NGINX and Kong for high-throughput environments in Norway.
Backup is not recovery. In this deep dive, we architect a failover solution using MySQL replication and BorgBackup on Linux, specifically tailored for Norwegian data sovereignty requirements.
Microservices solved your scaling problems but broke your observability. Here is a battle-tested guide to implementing Istio on Kubernetes without destroying your latency—specifically for the Norwegian infrastructure market.
Is your API gateway choking on 10k concurrent connections? Stop blaming the code. In this guide, we dissect Linux kernel tuning, NGINX worker optimization, and why NVMe storage is non-negotiable for low-latency Norwegian architecture.
Serverless promises infinite scale, but often delivers infinite billing headaches and cold-start latency. Here is how to build a GDPR-compliant, private FaaS infrastructure using OpenFaaS and Docker Swarm on high-performance VPS nodes.
It's July 2018, and everyone is rushing to Kubernetes. But when packets drop, the dream turns into an iptables nightmare. Here is a battle-tested guide to CNI plugins, IPVS, and optimizing network throughput for Norwegian workloads.
Monolithic architectures are dying, but distributed systems introduce complexity that breaks cheap hosting. Here is a battle-tested guide to microservices patterns—Gateway, Discovery, and Circuit Breakers—tailored for the Nordic infrastructure landscape of 2018.
Microservices solve scale but introduce chaos. We explore implementing Istio on Kubernetes to handle observability and mTLS in a post-GDPR world, specifically tailored for Norwegian infrastructure constraints.
Microservices solve scaling issues but create networking nightmares. Learn how to implement Envoy and Istio (0.8) to regain control, enforce mTLS for GDPR, and why underlying hardware latency defines your mesh's success.
Your build pipeline isn't slow because of your code—it's likely your storage backend. We analyze how I/O bottlenecks strangle Jenkins and GitLab CI, and why the post-GDPR world demands local Norwegian infrastructure.
Serverless isn't magic—it's just someone else's computer. Learn how to architect a compliant, high-performance FaaS platform using OpenFaaS and Kubernetes while keeping your data strictly within Norwegian borders.
Manual deployments are a liability in the GDPR era. Learn how to implement a GitOps workflow using Kubernetes, GitLab CI, and Weave Flux to create an immutable, auditable infrastructure on high-performance NVMe storage.
