Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
Is your AWS bill spiraling out of control? Learn battle-tested strategies to slash infrastructure costs, optimize Linux performance, and leverage Norwegian data sovereignty without sacrificing speed.
Default configurations are the enemy of performance. In this deep dive, we strip down Nginx and the Linux kernel to handle high-concurrency API traffic, specifically targeting the unique latency profile of the Nordic infrastructure.
Moving Kubernetes from minikube to bare metal production is where the real pain begins. We cover etcd latency, NVMe requirements, and Norwegian compliance in the v1.6 era.
Latency isn't just network lag; it's a revenue killer. We dissect the nuances of Linux performance monitoring, from enabling detailed Nginx upstream logging to identifying the dreaded CPU steal time on oversold hosts.
Latency kills conversion. In this technical deep dive, we dismantle the 'black box' of server performance using Prometheus, Grafana, and kernel-level tuning. Learn how to spot I/O bottlenecks and CPU steal time before your customers do.
Monoliths are safe; microservices are a distributed systems minefield. We explore battle-tested patterns (API Gateways, Service Discovery) to maintain sanity, leveraging KVM isolation and NVMe storage to combat latency in the Norwegian ecosystem.
Cloud providers promise nirvana with 'Serverless', but the latency and vendor lock-in can kill your architecture. Here is how to build a high-performance FaaS platform on Norwegian infrastructure using Docker and OpenFaaS.
Microservices solve development bottlenecks but create operational nightmares. Learn how to implement a Service Mesh with Linkerd to fix latency and observability before the GDPR deadline hits.
Nagios says the server is up. Your customers say the site is broken. In this deep dive, we explore the emerging shift from basic monitoring to deep system observability using ELK and Prometheus, specifically tailored for the Norwegian hosting landscape in 2017.
A battle-hardened guide to Kubernetes networking in early 2017. We dissect CNI plugins, debug iptables hell, and explain why underlying VPS latency determines cluster stability.
It is not a matter of if, but when. Learn how to architect a bulletproof Disaster Recovery plan using Linux primitives, avoiding the recent GitLab-style meltdown, while keeping your data compliant with Datatilsynet standards.
Latency kills conversion. In this deep dive, we explore kernel-level tuning, NGINX optimizations, and the critical role of NVMe storage in reducing API response times for Norwegian users.
Microservices solved your code velocity problems but broke your network reliability. In this guide, we deploy Linkerd (v1.0) to handle service discovery and circuit breaking without polluting application code. Valid for March 2017.
Hope is not a strategy. Learn how to architect robust disaster recovery plans using rsync, Percona XtraBackup, and KVM snapshots, specifically tailored for Norwegian data compliance requirements.
A battle-hardened guide to Pod-to-Pod communication, CNI plugins, and optimizing iptables in 2017. Learn why infrastructure latency makes or breaks your cluster.
Stop relying on passive checks. In 2017, 'up' is not enough. We implement active metrics scraping with Prometheus and Grafana on Ubuntu 16.04 to visualize real bottlenecks.
A battle-hardened look at Kubernetes networking primitives, CNI choices, and why low-latency infrastructure is non-negotiable for stability. Written for the DevOps engineer debugging iptables at 3 AM.
A battle-hardened guide to tuning your API Gateway for maximum throughput and minimal latency using 2017's best practices. From sysctl kernel tweaks to upstream keepalives, we dissect the stack.
Is your cloud bill spiraling while performance stagnates? We explore a hybrid infrastructure strategy combining local Nordic stability with public cloud elasticity, preparing you for the upcoming GDPR enforcement.
The 'Serverless' buzzword is dominating 2017, but proprietary cloud functions come with cold starts and data residency risks. Here is how to architect a containerized, self-hosted FaaS alternative using Docker and Nginx on Norwegian infrastructure.
Is your monthly AWS bill spiraling? Learn how to audit zombie processes, leverage KVM virtualization efficiency, and cut bandwidth costs by moving workloads closer to Oslo.
It is March 2017. The era of simple uptime checks is dead. Discover how to move from passive monitoring to active observability using Prometheus, ELK, and raw kernel metrics on high-performance Linux VDS.
Microservices are trending, but they turn function calls into network calls. Here is how to architect for resilience using NGINX, Hystrix, and Consul without destroying your latency budgets in Oslo.
A battle-tested guide to optimizing Jenkins and GitLab CI pipelines. We cover Docker layer caching, NVMe I/O bottlenecks, and why infrastructure choice matters for Norwegian dev teams preparing for GDPR.
Is your monthly AWS bill spiraling out of control? Learn how to audit zombie processes, tune MySQL for density, and leverage Norwegian KVM instances to cut infrastructure overhead by 40%.
We benchmark the complexity and performance of Kubernetes 1.5 against Docker Swarm Mode. Learn which orchestrator fits your Norwegian infrastructure stack before the GDPR deadline hits.
Is your deployment pipeline an excuse for a coffee break? We dissect the I/O bottlenecks killing your build times, implement ephemeral Docker agents, and optimize Jenkins 2.0 pipelines for the Nordic infrastructure landscape.
It is February 2017. Ransomware is evolving, and relying on simple snapshots is a career-ending mistake. This guide covers RTO/RPO strategies, automated off-site replication scripts, and why Norwegian data sovereignty matters more than ever.
Serverless isn't magic—it's just someone else's computer with a 3-second cold start. Learn how to combine FaaS scalability with the raw IOPS of NVMe VPS for a robust, low-latency architecture.
Packet loss, MTU mismatches, and iptables hell. We dissect the reality of running Kubernetes networking in production and why your underlying VPS choice dictates your cluster's stability.
