Stop relying on manual 'kubectl apply'. Learn how to architect resilient, compliant GitOps pipelines using ArgoCD and high-performance KVM infrastructure in the post-Schrems II era.
Moving from monolith to microservices often results in a 'distributed monolith' that is harder to debug and slower to run. In this guide, we dissect the architectural patterns that actually work in 2022, focusing on API Gateways, resiliency, and the critical role of underlying infrastructure in the Norwegian market.
Monitoring tells you the server is down. Observability tells you why the database locked up.

Serverless doesn't have to mean AWS Lambda. Learn how to build a GDPR-compliant, high-performance FaaS architecture using OpenFaaS and KVM-based VPS in Norway.
Monitoring tells you the server is up; Observability tells you why the checkout failed for users in Bergen. A deep dive into the O11y stack (Prometheus, Loki, OpenTelemetry) for Norwegian DevOps teams facing GDPR constraints.
Microservices solve complexity but introduce chaos. This guide covers the practical implementation of Istio 1.15, the hidden 'sidecar tax' on CPU resources, and why hosting infrastructure in Norway matters for latency-sensitive meshes.
Migrating a live production database without losing data or sleep is an art. We dissect replication strategies, GDPR compliance, and why NVMe storage is non-negotiable for high-IOPS workloads in 2022.
Discover how to build a high-performance, GDPR-compliant serverless platform using OpenFaaS and Kubernetes on bare-metal KVM instances. We dismantle the 'cloud native' hype and show you how to regain control over your latency and data sovereignty.
Stop relying on ping checks. A battle-hardened guide to scaling Prometheus and Grafana on NVMe infrastructure, ensuring GDPR compliance and sub-millisecond latency within the Norwegian ecosystem.
Logs don't lie, but they are often silent about the root cause. Here is how to build a robust APM stack in 2022 using open-source tools, focusing on metrics, tracing, and the hardware reality beneath your virtualization.
Serverless is an operational model, not just a product. We analyze three robust patterns for 2022, discuss the GDPR implications of US clouds, and show how to build a compliant, high-performance FaaS platform on CoolVDS infrastructure.
Stop SSH-ing into production. Learn how to architect a resilient GitOps workflow using ArgoCD and K3s, ensuring GDPR compliance and sub-millisecond latency for Norwegian infrastructure.
Stop debugging random DNS timeouts and start architecting for throughput. We explore Calico vs. Cilium, the limitations of iptables, and why underlying hardware is the ultimate bottleneck for K8s networking in 2022.
Stop relying on sluggish shared runners. A battle-hardened guide to optimizing CI/CD pipelines using local caching, NVMe storage, and self-hosted runners compliant with Norwegian data laws.
Monitoring tells you the server is dead. Observability tells you why the database query timed out only for users in Bergen. A deep dive into the three pillars—metrics, logs, traces—and how to host them in a GDPR-compliant Norwegian infrastructure.
Most server bottlenecks are invisible to standard monitoring. Learn how to implement a full APM stack using Prometheus, Grafana, and accurate kernel metrics to debug latency in Norway's strict regulatory environment.
Microservices solve code complexity but introduce network chaos. Here is a battle-tested guide to implementing Istio on bare-metal grade K8s nodes without killing your latency or blowing your TCO.
