Stop manually applying manifests. Learn how to implement a robust GitOps pipeline using ArgoCD and Kubernetes, keeping your Norwegian infrastructure compliant and drift-free.
Default configurations are killing your API performance. Learn how to tune the Linux kernel, NGINX, and TLS settings to handle 10k+ req/s while keeping latency low in a Nordic infrastructure environment.
Stop relying on default CPU alerts. A battle-hardened guide to building a Prometheus/Grafana stack on KVM, minimizing false positives, and ensuring data sovereignty in Norway.
Monitoring tells you the server is up. Observability tells you why the checkout failed for iOS users in Bergen. We dive into the distinction using Prometheus, Loki, and OpenTelemetry, and why hosting your own stack in Norway is the only safe bet post-Schrems II.
Manual `kubectl apply` is a compliance nightmare waiting to happen. Learn how to implement a strict GitOps workflow using Flux v2 on high-performance infrastructure, ensuring your Norwegian deployments are auditable, automated, and drift-proof.
Monitoring tells you the server is alive. Observability tells you why the database latency spikes only on Tuesdays. We break down the transition from simple metrics to full-stack visibility, specifically for Norwegian dev teams navigating GDPR and Schrems II.
Default configurations are the enemy of performance. Learn how to tune the Linux kernel, optimize Nginx workers, and leverage NVMe storage to slash API latency, specifically tailored for the Nordic infrastructure landscape.
Microservices aren't a silver bullet; they're a tradeoff between complexity and scalability. We dissect the Ambassador and Circuit Breaker patterns, discuss GDPR compliance post-Schrems II, and explain why infrastructure latency is the silent killer of distributed systems.
Stop guessing why your application is slow. A battle-hardened guide to implementing the 'Four Golden Signals' of monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana on high-performance Norwegian infrastructure. Compliant with Schrems II.
Backups are not a strategy. Following the OVH Strasbourg fire and the Schrems II ruling, relying on luck or US cloud giants is negligence. Here is the technical blueprint for a GDPR-compliant, warm-standby disaster recovery architecture in Norway.
Monitoring tells you the server is up. Observability tells you why the checkout failed for a user in Bergen on an iPhone 8. We dissect the critical difference, provide implementation code for 2021's stack (Prometheus, Jaeger, ELK), and explain why infrastructure choice dictates your debugging speed.
Monoliths are predictable. Microservices are chaos. Discover the 5 essential architectural patterns to keep your Kubernetes clusters sane, compliant with Schrems II, and performant on Nordic infrastructure.
A battle-hardened DevOps guide to migrating high-load databases without losing data or sleep. We cover replication strategies, specific config tuning, and why local NVMe storage in Norway is your safety net.
Slow builds kill developer momentum. We analyze how NVMe I/O, KVM isolation, and Norwegian data sovereignty (Schrems II) impact your CI/CD pipelines, with practical optimization strategies for GitLab CI and Docker.
Stop relying on green traffic lights. In the era of microservices and distributed systems, traditional monitoring is dead. Here is how to build true observability using the three pillars—logs, metrics, and traces—while keeping your data compliant with Norwegian law.
Centralized clouds are failing Nordic latency demands. Here is how to architect a regional edge strategy using K3s, WireGuard, and local VDS infrastructure.
Moving to microservices doesn't just solve problems; it introduces network latency and orchestration hell. Here is a battle-tested guide to architecture patterns that actually work in 2021, keeping Norwegian data sovereignty and latency in mind.
Slow pipelines kill developer momentum. Learn how to crush build times by targeting the hidden bottleneck: Disk I/O. We analyze Docker caching strategies, self-hosted GitLab runners, and why NVMe storage in Oslo is your best compliance strategy post-Schrems II.
Stop relying on basic ping checks. We break down how to implement granular Application Performance Monitoring (APM) using Prometheus and Grafana, ensuring GDPR compliance in Norway while eliminating the 'noisy neighbor' effect common in cheap hosting.
