Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
Is Kubernetes overkill? Is Docker Swarm dead? We benchmark orchestration overhead, analyze the impact of the Schrems II ruling on hosting choices, and explain why NVMe latency is the silent killer of k8s clusters.
Moving to microservices isn't just about code; it's about infrastructure survival. We analyze battle-tested patterns (Strangler, Circuit Breaker) and the critical role of NVMe storage and Norwegian data sovereignty in late 2020.
Schrems II changed the game for data sovereignty in Europe. We benchmark Kubernetes v1.19 against Docker Swarm on local NVMe infrastructure to determine what actually survives production loads without the complexity tax.
Manual deployments are a liability. In a post-Schrems II world, learn how to implement a pull-based GitOps workflow using ArgoCD on Kubernetes, ensuring compliance and stability in Norwegian infrastructure.
Serverless architecture is an operational model, not a vendor product. Learn how to deploy OpenFaaS on high-performance CoolVDS instances to circumvent Schrems II compliance issues and eliminate cold starts.

Forget the 5G hype. Here is how to build a pragmatic 'Near Edge' infrastructure today using NVMe-backed VDS, WireGuard, and optimized MQTT brokers in Oslo.
Architecting microservices isn't just about splitting code; it's about managing failure and latency. We break down the Sidecar and Circuit Breaker patterns, discuss the post-Schrems II legal landscape for Norwegian devs, and explain why your choice of VPS virtualization defines your cluster's stability.
Cloud bills exploded in 2020? Learn specific strategies to audit idle resources, eliminate egress fees, and solve the Schrems II compliance headache by leveraging Norwegian infrastructure.

Containers aren't micro-VMs. Here is a battle-hardened guide to securing your Docker and Kubernetes payloads, adhering to Schrems II compliance, and preventing runtime exploits on Norwegian infrastructure.
Microservices are great until you have to debug them. We break down the implementation of Istio for mTLS and observability, ensuring your Norwegian infrastructure complies with Schrems II without killing latency.
Cloud bills are skyrocketing. From identifying zombie resources to leveraging Norwegian compliance for cost savings, here is a pragmatic guide to slashing infrastructure TCO without sacrificing performance.
With the recent Schrems II ruling killing the Privacy Shield, reliance on US hyperscalers is a liability. Here is a pragmatic architectural guide to a hybrid multi-cloud setup using Terraform and WireGuard to keep your PII safe in Norway.
Stop guessing why your production environment is slow. We dive deep into CPU Steal time, I/O bottlenecks, and deploying a Prometheus stack on Ubuntu 20.04 to visualize the truth.
Stop relying on managed cloud magic. A deep dive into CNI choices, IPVS vs. Iptables, and minimizing latency for Kubernetes clusters running on raw VPS infrastructure.
Container isolation is a myth if you're running as root. In this deep dive, we dismantle common Docker security failures, analyze the impact of Schrems II on your hosting choices, and show you how to lock down your stack before it hits production.
A battle-hardened look at K8s networking in late 2020. From CNI choices and IPVS optimization to handling GDPR fallout (Schrems II) with local Norwegian infrastructure.
Serverless promises infinite scale, but at what cost? We explore architectural patterns for deploying self-hosted FaaS on Norwegian infrastructure to solve latency, cost, and the data sovereignty challenges of 2020.
Vendor lock-in and the recent Schrems II ruling have made public cloud FaaS risky for European data. Here is a pragmatic architectural pattern for deploying OpenFaaS on high-performance NVMe VPS infrastructure in Norway.
A deep dive into Kubernetes networking architecture, CNI selection, and troubleshooting latency in a post-Schrems II world. Learn how to optimize packet flow on Norwegian infrastructure.
Public cloud serverless functions promise infinite scale but deliver unpredictable costs and data sovereignty nightmares. In the wake of Schrems II, here is how to build a high-performance, compliant FaaS platform on your own infrastructure.
Microservices solve code complexity but introduce network chaos. This guide covers deploying Istio 1.7 on Kubernetes to solve mTLS requirements post-Schrems II, manage traffic shaping, and why raw compute power determines mesh stability.
Real-time analytics isn't just code; it's infrastructure. We analyze how to deploy Apache Flink 1.11 with RocksDB state backends, navigate the new GDPR landscape in 2020, and why IOPS is the metric that actually matters.
Moving from monolith to microservices isn't just a code change; it's an operational paradigm shift. We dissect critical patterns, necessary infrastructure tuning, and why the Schrems II ruling makes your hosting location more important than ever.
Uptime is a vanity metric if your latency is killing conversion. A battle-hardened guide to implementing self-hosted observability (Prometheus & Grafana) on Linux VPS, addressing the recent Schrems II ruling and ensuring data sovereignty in Norway.
Microservices solve architectural problems but create networking nightmares. Learn how to deploy Istio 1.7 on high-performance infrastructure to handle mTLS, observability, and the new Schrems II compliance reality.
Cloud costs are bleeding European budgets dry. From kernel-level tuning to navigating the Schrems II legal minefield, here is a pragmatic CTO's guide to cutting hosting TCO by 40% without sacrificing IOPS.
Kubernetes networking feels like black magic until it breaks. We dissect the overlay tax, compare Calico vs. Flannel, and explain why underlying hardware dictates your cluster's latency.
Microservices networking is broken. Here is how to fix it using Istio 1.7 without destroying your latency, specifically tailored for Norwegian compliance standards and high-performance infrastructure.
