Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
Still storing PHP sessions on disk? You are creating your own bottleneck. Here is why Redis beats Memcached and MySQL for session storage in high-load environments.
Still storing sessions in /tmp? You're bottlenecking your application. We explore why the new 'Redis' project is the persistent, high-speed alternative to Memcached that European systems architects have been waiting for.
Stop losing code to Subversion merge conflicts. Learn how to deploy a secure, private Git server in Norway using Gitosis on a CoolVDS Xen instance. Full guide for 2009 infrastructure standards.
As we approach 2010, the "Cloud" buzzword is shifting IT budgets. We analyze why moving from physical SANs to VDS-based storage improves TCO and I/O performance in Norway.
Is your site stalling under load? It might be disk I/O on /tmp. We explore replacing file-based sessions with the emerging Redis key-value store to slash latency.
Is your LAMP stack choking on session locks? Forget MySQL and file-based storage. We test the new Redis project against Memcached and show you how to cut latency by 80% using high-performance Xen VPS nodes.
OpenVZ is fine for hobbyists, but if you value strict resource isolation and kernel stability in 2009, Xen is the mandatory standard. Here is the technical breakdown of PV vs HVM and why we built CoolVDS on it.
Don't let traffic spikes kill your uptime. Learn how to implement robust Layer 7 load balancing using HAProxy 1.3 on Linux to distribute load across multiple Xen web nodes.
Is your disk I/O choking on session files? Learn why file-based session management is obsolete and how the new Redis project offers a persistent, sub-millisecond alternative for high-load applications.
Latency kills conversion. Why routing through Frankfurt fails your Oslo users, and how to choose the right Xen-based VDS architecture under Norwegian data laws.
Stop guessing which RDBMS fits your stack. We dissect the MySQL vs PostgreSQL debate, storage engine locking headaches, and why low-latency I/O in Norway is critical for database performance in 2009.
Cloud abstractions are adding latency to your API calls. Learn how to reclaim milliseconds and ensure Norwegian data sovereignty by deploying a raw Nginx gateway on dedicated KVM instances.
Is your LAMP stack buckling under the Slashdot effect? Stop throwing RAM at a single server. We explore Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Nginx reverse proxying, and why RAID-10 SAS storage is the only viable option for serious Norwegian deployments.
Master Kubernetes deployment strategies from Rolling Updates to Canary releases. Learn how to minimize downtime and ensure GDPR compliance using high-performance Norwegian infrastructure.
Streamline your deployment pipeline and reduce latency. We explore practical DevOps strategies, local infrastructure advantages in Norway, and how to configure CoolVDS for peak performance.
Replication lag kills data integrity. We analyze how low-latency infrastructure in Oslo and NVMe storage solve synchronization issues for high-traffic databases.
Stop optimizing PHP while ignoring I/O and network latency. We analyze why hosting WordPress on local Norwegian infrastructure (CoolVDS) beats global clouds for Nordic traffic.
Is your team still deploying via FTP on Friday afternoons? Discover how to set up a robust CI/CD pipeline using Hudson, SVN, and reliable VPS hosting to streamline your Norwegian business operations.
Shared hosting is a ticking time bomb for growing businesses. We break down why Xen virtualization, RAID-10 SAS storage, and NIX peering are non-negotiable for stability in 2009.
As we navigate the economic landscape of 2009, Norwegian businesses must prioritize IT efficiency. Discover why Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) hosting offers the optimal balance of performance, security, and cost-effectiveness for the modern enterprise.
