Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
Architecting microservices requires more than just splitting codebases. We analyze critical patterns like API Gateways, Circuit Breakers, and Asynchronous Messaging, while addressing the specific infrastructure reality of running distributed systems in Norway post-Schrems II.
Stop relying on default CNI configurations. We dissect the performance impact of overlay networks, IPVS vs. iptables, and why low-latency infrastructure in Norway is the only real fix for distributed systems.
Analyze TCO beyond the sticker price. We dissect egress fees, NVMe I/O bottlenecks, and Schrems II compliance costs to show why 'pay-as-you-go' often means 'pay-too-much', and how local Norwegian infrastructure stabilizes the bottom line.
Stop manual kubectl usage. We define a battle-tested GitOps architecture using ArgoCD and Kustomize that adheres to Schrems II, ensuring data sovereignty in Norway.
Forget the marketing fluff. Edge computing in 2022 is about beating the speed of light and surviving GDPR audits. Here is how to architect low-latency Nordic infrastructure using K3s and local NVMe VPS.
Stop following the hype. We break down the real-world trade-offs of container orchestration on European infrastructure, analyzing complexity, latency, and the specific data sovereignty needs of Norwegian CTOs in 2022.
It's 2022. Do you really need Kubernetes, or is it just resume-driven development? We benchmark orchestration tools on Norwegian infrastructure, focusing on latency, Schrems II compliance, and raw NVMe performance.
Physics is non-negotiable. For Norwegian DevOps teams facing rugged geography and strict GDPR laws, Edge Computing isn't a buzzword—it's survival. We break down real-world architectures using WireGuard, K3s, and MQTT to bridge the gap between remote fjords and Oslo data centers.
Monitoring tells you the site is down. Observability tells you why the database latency spiked only for users in Bergen using iOS. We dissect the 2021 tech stack required to move beyond simple health checks.
It's 3 AM. Your dashboard shows all systems green, but customers are screaming about 502 errors. This is the monitoring gap. We dissect the critical shift from 'checking health' to 'understanding behavior' in a post-Schrems II world.
Stop blindly deploying Kubernetes. In this deep dive, we compare K8s, Swarm, and Nomad for the Norwegian market, focusing on Schrems II compliance, NVMe I/O requirements for etcd, and why raw compute latency matters more than your YAML config.
Stop paying the 'hyperscaler tax' for predictable workloads. We analyze egress fees, Schrems II compliance costs, and hardware-level optimization techniques to slash TCO before Q1.
It's late 2021. The Log4Shell fires are mostly out. Now, let's talk about the infrastructure that actually runs your containers. We benchmark Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Nomad on Nordic NVMe VPS infrastructure.
Ditch the JVM bloat. Learn how to deploy NATS JetStream for high-throughput, persistent messaging on bare-metal capable VPS infrastructure. Essential reading for DevOps engineers prioritizing speed and data sovereignty in 2021.
Latency isn't just a nuisance; it's a conversion killer. We dissect the USE method, self-hosted Prometheus stacks, and why 'Steal Time' on cheap VPS providers renders your monitoring useless.
Serverless doesn't mean 'no servers'—it means you don't want to manage them. But when public cloud latency to Oslo spikes and GDPR compliance tightens, the smartest DevOps move is rolling your own FaaS on high-performance NVMe VPS. Here is the architecture guide.
Cut through the hyperscaler marketing. Learn how to optimize cloud spend using open-source tools, right-sizing strategies, and leveraging Norwegian infrastructure for lower TCO and GDPR compliance.
Escape the public cloud billing trap and Schrems II compliance nightmares. A pragmatic CTO's guide to deploying OpenFaaS on high-performance NVMe infrastructure in Norway.
Stop debugging latency with tcpdump. A pragmatic guide to implementing mTLS and observability using Linkerd and Istio on Kubernetes, specifically tailored for Norwegian data compliance and high-performance infrastructure.
Don't let network latency turn your architecture into a distributed monolith. We dissect the Sidecar and CQRS patterns, real-world Kubernetes configurations, and why hosting in Norway is your best defense against Schrems II legal headaches.
Most default container configurations are vulnerable by design. From dropping root privileges to securing the supply chain, here is the battle-hardened guide to locking down your infrastructure before the next zero-day hits.
Serverless doesn't have to mean vendor lock-in. Learn how to architect a compliant, high-performance FaaS platform on Norwegian infrastructure using OpenFaaS and K3s.
Stop guessing why your application is slow. We break down how to implement the "Four Golden Signals" of monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana, ensuring your Norwegian users get the low latency they expect without violating Schrems II.
Hyperscale cloud bills are eating your margins. Discover how to cut infrastructure costs by 40% through kernel-level tuning, strategic data localization in Norway to bypass Schrems II risks, and choosing the right virtualization technology.
Multi-cloud isn't just about redundancy; it's a survival strategy for GDPR compliance and cost control in Norway. Here is how to architect a hybrid setup using WireGuard and Terraform without bankrupting your TCO.
Stop relying on passive checks. Here is a battle-tested guide to scaling Prometheus and Grafana on Norwegian infrastructure, ensuring you sleep through the next traffic surge.
Stop relying on manual checks and htop. Learn how to build a robust, GDPR-compliant monitoring stack using Prometheus and Grafana on Norwegian infrastructure that actually lets you sleep at night.
Stop relying on simple ping checks. We break down a battle-tested Prometheus and Grafana architecture that handles high cardinality without melting your storage—optimized for the Nordic infrastructure landscape.
Physics doesn't negotiate. When millisecond latency impacts user retention and GDPR compliance restricts data movement, centralized clouds fail. Here is the pragmatic architecture for deploying edge nodes in Oslo.
Microservices shouldn't require writing boilerplate for retries, state, and secrets in three different languages. We explore how Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime) simplifies distributed systems, why overhead matters, and how to run it effectively on Norwegian infrastructure.
