Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
Monitoring tells you the server is down. Observability tells you why. We dissect the critical differences, the OpenTelemetry stack in 2025, and the infrastructure required to handle high-cardinality data in Norway.
A battle-hardened analysis of Kubernetes 1.30 features for Norwegian DevOps teams. We ditch the 'Uwubernetes' jokes to focus on enabling Node Memory Swap (LimitedSwap), implementing Structured DRA for GPUs, and fixing sidecar scaling issues. Includes specific configs for 2025 production environments.
Stop bleeding money on egress fees. A pragmatic guide for CTOs on architecting a true hybrid infrastructure using CoolVDS as your sovereign data anchor in Norway, connected to hyperscalers via WireGuard.

Stop relying on fragile CI push scripts. Discover how to build a resilient, compliant GitOps pipeline using ArgoCD and Kustomize, designed for the strict data sovereignty requirements of the Norwegian market.
Manual `kubectl apply` is a resignation letter waiting to happen. Here is the battle-tested GitOps workflow using ArgoCD, Kustomize, and high-performance infrastructure to keep your Norwegian deployments sane.
Centralized clouds are failing latency-sensitive applications in the Nordics. Learn how to deploy robust edge nodes using K3s, WireGuard, and NVMe-backed VPS infrastructure to solve the 'Oslo to Frankfurt' lag problem.
Latency isn't just a metric; it's a barrier to entry. We dissect real-world edge use cases in Norway, from IoT aggregation to GDPR compliance, and show why a localized VPS strategy beats the centralized hyperscalers every time.
Stop over-engineering your stack. We compare K8s, K3s, and Swarm with a focus on latency, storage IOPS for etcd, and Norwegian data sovereignty compliance in 2025.
A deep dive into the state of Kubernetes networking in mid-2025. We dissect CNI choices, the shift to Gateway API, and why your underlying VDS architecture makes or breaks etcd performance in Norwegian data centers.
Log files are dead. In 2025, if you aren't using OpenTelemetry and eBPF, you're flying blind. Here is how to architect a monitoring stack that actually detects latency spikes before your Norwegian users do.
Manual `kubectl apply` is a resignation letter waiting to happen. Learn the architecture of a resilient GitOps pipeline using ArgoCD and Kustomize, specifically tailored for GDPR-compliant infrastructure in Norway.
Serverless doesn't have to mean vendor lock-in. Learn how to deploy a high-performance OpenFaaS cluster on CoolVDS infrastructure, ensuring data sovereignty in Norway and eliminating cold starts.
Microservices aren't a silver bullet—they're a complexity trade-off. We dissect the architectural patterns that prevent distributed monoliths, focusing on latency, resilience, and the specific infrastructure needs of the Nordic market.
Stop blaming the network. Your API Gateway configuration is likely the bottleneck. We dive into Linux kernel tuning, upstream keepalives, and why specific hardware allocation matters for 99th percentile latency in high-traffic Nordic deployments.
A battle-hardened guide to squeezing microseconds out of your API Gateway. We cover kernel-level tuning, connection pooling strategies, and why infrastructure choice dictates your ceiling.
Manual deployments are a liability. Learn the battle-tested GitOps workflows that secure your stack, satisfy Norwegian compliance, and leverage high-performance infrastructure.
SaaS runners are killing your deployment velocity. Learn how to cut build times by 60% using self-hosted runners, Docker BuildKit caching, and high-performance NVMe infrastructure located in Oslo.
Manual deployments are technical debt. Learn how to structure high-availability GitOps pipelines using ArgoCD and Kustomize, specifically tailored for Norwegian compliance and low-latency infrastructure.
Service meshes solve complexity but introduce latency. This guide covers mTLS enforcement, traffic splitting, and the raw infrastructure specs required to run Istio without killing your performance metrics in Norway.
Public cloud bills are bleeding European startups dry. Here is a technical breakdown of how to audit your infrastructure, repatriate workloads to predictable VPS, and leverage Norwegian data sovereignty to cut TCO by 40%.
Hyperscale cloud bills are bleeding European tech companies dry. Learn actionable techniques to right-size resources, leverage NVMe efficiency, and ensure GDPR compliance without the 'cloud tax'.
A battle-hardened look at K8s networking layers, from eBPF optimizations to Gateway API implementation. Learn why underlying VPS infrastructure determines your cluster's latency.
Backups are not a strategy; they are an archive. Learn how to architect a sub-minute RTO using hot-standby replication, Terraform, and NVMe-backed instances in Oslo, ensuring compliance with Datatilsynet requirements.
