Escape vendor lock-in and solve Schrems II compliance issues by anchoring your data in Norway while leveraging global compute. A technical guide to hybrid architecture in 2022.
A battle-hardened comparison of container orchestrators for Norwegian infrastructure. We dissect latency, complexity, and why your underlying VDS storage speed defines your cluster's stability.
It's 3 AM. Your CPU usage is normal, but the site is down. Monitoring tells you the system is broken; Observability tells you why. Here is the technical breakdown of implementing OpenTelemetry and Prometheus on high-performance Norwegian infrastructure.
Manual server hardening is a liability. Learn how to automate security compliance using Ansible and OpenSCAP on Norwegian infrastructure to satisfy Datatilsynet and sleep better at night.
Shared runners are a trap for serious dev teams. Learn how to cut build times by 60% using self-hosted runners, optimized storage drivers, and Nordic infrastructure tailored for compliance.
Don't deploy a service mesh just because it's trendy. We break down the architectural reality of Istio, strict mTLS for GDPR compliance, and why raw infrastructure performance determines whether your mesh heals or kills your latency.
Manual security audits are a liability in 2021. Learn how to automate CIS benchmarks and GDPR technical safeguards using OpenSCAP and Ansible on sovereign Norwegian infrastructure.
Manual deployments are a ticking time bomb. Learn how to implement a robust GitOps workflow using ArgoCD and Kubernetes, ensuring compliance and stability in the Norwegian hosting market.
Sharding is complex, expensive, and dangerous. It is also unavoidable at scale. Learn the architectural patterns for horizontal partitioning, local Norwegian compliance nuances, and why high-IOPS NVMe storage is your safety net.
Stop blaming your backend code for high latency. Learn how to tune kernel parameters, optimize Nginx workers, and leverage NVMe-backed KVM instances to handle 10k+ RPS with sub-millisecond overhead in a post-Schrems II landscape.
Stop letting slow I/O and network latency kill your deployment velocity. A deep dive into optimizing GitLab Runners, Docker caching strategies, and the impact of Norwegian data residency on pipeline performance.
Is your API gateway becoming a bottleneck? Learn how to tune the Linux kernel and Nginx for high-throughput, low-latency traffic. We cover file descriptors, TCP stack optimization, and why hardware selection matters more than code in 2020.
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.
Default Nginx configurations are bottling your throughput. In the wake of Schrems II, we dive deep into kernel-level tuning, TLS 1.3 optimization, and hardware requirements for high-performance API gateways in Norway.
Is your API gateway becoming the bottleneck of your microservices architecture? We dive deep into kernel-level tuning, Nginx configuration, and the critical importance of NVMe storage to slash latency. Written for the reality of September 2020.
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.
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.
Is your deployment pipeline bleeding time? We dissect I/O bottlenecks, Docker layer caching, and the critical impact of local NVMe storage on build velocity.
Vertical scaling has a ceiling. When your InnoDB buffer pool exceeds physical RAM and NVMe I/O waits spike, it is time to talk about sharding. We explore application-level versus middleware-based sharding strategies relevant for high-traffic European workloads in 2020.
Manual security audits are a liability. Learn how to automate server hardening using Ansible and OpenSCAP to satisfy Datatilsynet requirements while keeping your infrastructure agile.
Microservices solve scale but introduce chaos. This 2020 guide covers implementing Istio on Kubernetes to regain control over traffic and security. Learn why underlying hardware latency matters for the sidecar pattern.
Latency isn't just a metric; it's a business killer. Learn how to tune the Linux kernel and Nginx for high-throughput API gateways, and why hardware isolation is your only defense against jitter.
Microservices solve scaling issues but introduce networking nightmares. Learn how to implement Istio 1.4 on Kubernetes to regain control, enforce mTLS, and why underlying infrastructure performance makes or breaks your mesh.
Manual security audits are a liability. Learn how to automate compliance using Ansible, OpenSCAP, and CIS benchmarks while keeping your data strictly within Norwegian borders.
When vertical scaling hits the hardware ceiling, sharding is the only way out. We explore practical sharding strategies using ProxySQL and PostgreSQL, aimed at maintaining low latency in Norwegian data centers.
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.
Stop blaming your backend code for slow response times. A deep dive into Linux kernel tuning, Nginx optimization, and why hardware isolation is critical for API Gateways. Practical guide for DevOps engineers targeting the Nordic market.
Slow build times are the silent killer of developer velocity. We analyze how shifting from oversubscribed SaaS runners to dedicated NVMe-backed instances in Oslo can cut deployment times by 60%, ensuring GDPR compliance and raw I/O performance.
Microservices aren't a silver bullet; they're a complex trade-off between agility and operational chaos. This guide explores the critical patterns—API Gateways, Circuit Breakers, and Service Discovery—needed to survive the transition in 2019, specifically within the context of Nordic network constraints.
Public cloud serverless functions offer convenience at the cost of control and predictable billing. In this technical deep-dive, we explore deploying a self-hosted serverless stack using OpenFaaS on NVMe-backed VPS instances to achieve sub-millisecond latency within Norway.
