Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
Uptime checks are not enough. Learn how to implement a self-hosted Prometheus and Grafana stack to monitor latency, I/O wait, and CPU steal on your Norway-based infrastructure, ensuring GDPR compliance and high performance.
Moving from monoliths to microservices isn't a silver bullet; it's a trade-off between code complexity and infrastructure complexity. We dissect the patterns that actually work, how to handle Schrems II compliance, and why raw I/O performance determines architectural success.
Monitoring tells you the server is up; observability tells you why the checkout button is broken for users in Bergen. We dissect the difference, the tech stack (Prometheus, ELK, Jaeger), and why high-IOPS infrastructure is non-negotiable for data-heavy tracing.
Kubernetes 1.22 is scheduled for release later this year, and it brings a hard stop to many beta APIs. If your Ingress or CRD manifests still use legacy versions, your deployments will fail. Here is a battle-plan for Norwegian DevOps teams to migrate before the deadline.
Stop blindly adopting Kubernetes. We analyze the trade-offs between K8s, Swarm, and Nomad for Nordic infrastructure in 2021, focusing on operational overhead, storage I/O, and data sovereignty.
Overlay networks aren't magic—they are overhead. We dissect CNI choices, IPVS vs. iptables, and why underlying hardware performance is the silent killer of Kubernetes clusters in 2021.
Stop relying on US-based SaaS for observability. Learn how to deploy a production-ready, self-hosted Elastic APM stack on NVMe infrastructure to satisfy Norwegian data sovereignty laws while debugging microservices latency.
Green lights on your dashboard don't mean your users are happy. Learn how to deploy a GDPR-compliant Prometheus and Grafana stack, why IOPS is the bottleneck for monitoring, and how to verify your hardware performance in Oslo.
Escape the public cloud vendor lock-in and GDPR nightmares. A deep dive into implementing serverless architecture patterns on self-hosted infrastructure using K3s and OpenFaaS, tailored for the Norwegian market.
Schrems II changed the rules. Here is how to architect a legally compliant, low-latency hybrid infrastructure using Terraform, WireGuard, and Norwegian bare metal.
Forget the cloud hype. Real serverless architecture requires robust compute, Schrems II compliance, and zero-latency storage. Here is how to build a private FaaS platform on Oslo-based silicon.
A battle-hardened guide to Kubernetes networking internals. We analyze Calico vs. Cilium, debug iptables spaghetti, and explain why network locality in Norway is critical for microservices compliance and performance.
Uptime means nothing if your latency spikes to 500ms. A battle-hardened guide to monitoring high-scale systems using Prometheus, Grafana, and localized Norwegian infrastructure.
Is your AWS bill growing faster than your user base? We analyze the hidden costs of cloud infrastructure, from egress fees to IOPS limits, and detail how moving workloads to Norwegian KVM instances can slash TCO while solving Schrems II compliance headaches.
Most monitoring setups fail exactly when you need them: during high-load incidents. Here is how to architect a resilient Prometheus and Grafana stack on dedicated NVMe resources, ensuring visibility when the rest of the world goes dark.
Service Meshes are no longer just hype; they are a necessity for Kubernetes observability. We break down Istio 1.9 implementation, mTLS security, and traffic splitting on high-performance Nordic infrastructure.
Serverless doesn't mean no servers—it usually just means expensive, opaque servers. We explore architectural patterns for running event-driven workloads on high-performance NVMe VPS infrastructure while keeping Datatilsynet happy.
Why round-trip times to Frankfurt are killing your application's responsiveness, and how deploying edge nodes in Oslo solves both latency physics and GDPR headaches.
Stop debugging latency with tcpdump. A practical, code-heavy guide to implementing Linkerd on Kubernetes in Norway, ensuring GDPR compliance and sub-millisecond overhead.
Is your AWS bill bleeding your budget dry? We analyze the real cost of hyperscalers versus local Norwegian infrastructure, covering egress fees, CPU steal time, and the post-Schrems II legal landscape.
Slow build times are the silent killer of developer velocity. Learn how to architect I/O-heavy pipelines using NVMe storage, efficient Docker caching, and local Norwegian infrastructure to cut deployment times by 60%.
Stop bleeding money on egress fees and risking GDPR fines. Here is how to build a hybrid infrastructure using Terraform, WireGuard, and Norwegian NVMe VPS instances.
In the wake of Schrems II, sending metrics to US clouds is risky. Here is how to architect a self-hosted, high-performance monitoring stack using Prometheus and Grafana on Norwegian infrastructure.
A battle-hardened guide to Kubernetes networking mechanics in April 2021. We dissect CNI choices, MetalLB configuration, and IPVS tuning for self-managed clusters in Norway.
Multi-cloud isn't just a buzzword; in post-Schrems II Europe, it's a legal survival mechanism. Here is a pragmatic technical guide to decoupling your data from US hyperscalers using Terraform, WireGuard, and Norwegian infrastructure.
Stop over-engineering your cloud strategy. Here is a battle-tested blueprint for complying with GDPR, minimizing latency to Oslo, and cutting TCO by leveraging a hybrid architecture with local VPS and WireGuard.
Microservices solve scalability but introduce chaos. This guide cuts through the hype of Service Mesh implementation in 2021, covering Istio 1.9 deployment, mTLS for GDPR compliance, and the kernel tuning required to handle sidecar overhead on Norwegian infrastructure.
Container isolation is a myth if you misconfigure the runtime. From dropping capabilities to navigating Norway's strict data sovereignty laws after Schrems II, here is the battle-hardened guide to securing your stack.
Kubernetes networking is leaky abstraction. We dissect CNI choices, eBPF vs. iptables performance, and why your underlying VPS infrastructure dictates cluster stability.
Downtime isn't a technical glitch; it's a strategic failure. Learn how to build a sovereign, high-performance monitoring stack using Prometheus and Grafana on Norwegian soil, ensuring GDPR compliance and sub-millisecond insight.
