Stop guessing why your server is sluggish. We dive deep into Linux kernel metrics, PHP-FPM tracing, and the specific monitoring stack you need to survive 2017's traffic spikes.
Latency is the silent killer of microservices. In this deep dive, we bypass default settings to tune the Linux kernel, optimize SSL handshakes, and configure Nginx for raw throughput on high-performance KVM infrastructure.
Alert fatigue and steal time are silent killers. We explore how to build a robust Prometheus & Grafana stack on CentOS 7 to catch what simple ping checks miss, specifically tailored for the Norwegian hosting landscape.
Microservices solve monolith problems but create networking nightmares. Learn how to implement Linkerd on Kubernetes 1.5 without destroying your latency, specifically tailored for Norwegian infrastructure requirements.
The 'pay-as-you-go' model is often a trap. Learn how to audit your infrastructure, eliminate zombie instances, and leverage Norwegian NVMe VPS to cut TCO by 40% before GDPR hits.
Microservices are breaking your network stability. Learn how to implement a Service Mesh using Linkerd on Kubernetes 1.5 to handle service discovery, retries, and latency without code changes.
Microservices solve organizational scaling but introduce network chaos. Here is how to implement the sidecar pattern using Linkerd to handle retries, timeouts, and circuit breaking without touching your application code.
Default Nginx configurations are choking your API performance. We dive deep into kernel tuning, SSL handshakes, and why raw IOPS on your VPS determines your throughput limits.
Stop relying on passive Nagios checks. Learn how to implement active metric collection using Prometheus 1.0 and Grafana 4.0 to detect bottlenecks before your Norway VPS crashes.
It is late 2016, and if you are still clicking buttons in the Jenkins UI, you are doing it wrong. We explore moving to Pipeline-as-Code, fixing I/O bottlenecks with NVMe, and keeping your intellectual property compliant within Norwegian borders.
Microservices solve code complexity but introduce network chaos. In this 2016 guide, we explore the emerging 'Service Mesh' pattern using Linkerd to handle service discovery and circuit breaking without code changes, and why underlying hardware performance is critical for this JVM-heavy architecture.
Kubernetes 1.4+ networking isn't magic—it's a complex beast of iptables, CNI plugins, and encapsulation. We dissect the flow of a packet, compare Flannel vs. Calico, and explain why your underlying VPS I/O is the hidden bottleneck for etcd.
Manual server configuration is killing your uptime. Learn how to implement a 'Git as Source of Truth' workflow using GitLab CI, Ansible, and Docker on high-performance infrastructure.
Stop guessing why your application is slow. From analyzing CPU steal time to configuring the ELK stack, this guide cuts through the marketing fluff and shows you how to monitor Linux systems properly.
We benchmark Docker 1.12 Swarm Mode against Kubernetes 1.4 for high-availability Nordic infrastructure. Stop guessing and start architecting for stability.
Stop managing retry logic in your application code. A battle-hardened guide to implementing the emerging Service Mesh pattern using Linkerd and Consul on high-performance Norwegian infrastructure.
A battle-hardened look at Kubernetes 1.4 networking. We dissect the CNI, analyze the iptables mess created by kube-proxy, and explain why your underlying VPS infrastructure dictates your cluster's latency.
Moving from monolithic architectures to microservices requires more than just Docker. We explore critical patterns for orchestration, service discovery, and the infrastructure requirements needed to handle the latency overhead in the Norwegian market.
Nagios checks might turn green, but your users are still seeing 504 errors. It's time to move from binary monitoring to deep instrumentation with Prometheus and ELK on high-IOPS infrastructure.
Is Serverless the end of the sysadmin? Hardly. In this 2016 retrospective, we dissect the latency, cost, and lock-in risks of FaaS, and propose a high-performance hybrid model using Docker and NVMe VPS in Norway.
