It is 2014. Netflix is breaking their monolith, and you want to follow suit. Here is how to implement a service-oriented architecture using Nginx, HAProxy, and KVM without destroying your uptime.
Don't let a single provider's outage sink your business. We explore how to architect a robust, hybrid infrastructure using HAProxy, Galera, and Norwegian data sovereignty to beat latency and US surveillance risks.
Moving from monolithic architectures to decoupled services is painful but necessary. We explore API Gateways, Service Discovery without the bloat, and why KVM isolation beats early containerization for production stability.
Hardcoded IPs are the silent killers of uptime. In this deep dive, we explore implementing the 'Smart Stack' pattern using HAProxy and Zookeeper to create a self-healing service layer on high-performance KVM instances.
Monoliths are dying, but the network is unreliable. Learn how to build a resilient service layer (a proto-mesh) using HAProxy, Zookeeper, and KVM-based virtualization to keep latency low in Norwegian datacenters.
Cloud SLAs are just refunds, not uptime. Learn how to architect true redundancy using HAProxy, MySQL 5.6 GTIDs, and a hybrid mix of AWS and Norwegian iron.
A battle-hardened comparison of the two dominant RDBMS giants in late 2012. We analyze locking mechanisms, replication quirks, and why hardware I/O is the silent killer of database performance.
A deep technical dive into the MySQL 5.5 vs PostgreSQL 9.1 debate. We analyze locking mechanisms, replication strategies, and why your choice of disk I/O infrastructure matters more than the engine itself.
