Monolithic architectures are stifling innovation. We explore how to deploy robust microservices using Docker 1.9 and Nginx, while addressing the critical post-Safe Harbor data sovereignty reality in Norway.

Taming Microservices: Implementing the Sidecar Pattern with HAProxy and Consul

Microservices are great until they can't talk to each other. Learn how to build a resilient service discovery layer—the precursor to a 'service mesh'—using HAProxy, Consul, and Docker in 2015.

Database Sharding Architectures: Surviving High-Scale Writes in a Post-Safe Harbor World

Vertical scaling has a ceiling. When your MySQL master starts choking on IOPS, it's time to shard. We explore practical strategies for partitioning data while keeping latency low and staying compliant with Norwegian data laws.

Surviving the Microservices Chaos: Implementing Resilient Service Discovery & Routing

Monolithic architectures are dying, but microservices introduce a new nightmare: networking complexity. Learn how to architect a robust service communication layer (the precursor to a service mesh) using Consul, HAProxy, and Docker on high-performance infrastructure.

Database Sharding Strategies: Surviving High-Scale Writes Without Losing Your Sanity

Sharding is a last resort, not a feature. We explore architectural patterns for scaling MySQL and PostgreSQL horizontally, specifically tailored for the Norwegian infrastructure landscape post-Safe Harbor.

Edge Computing & Data Sovereignty: Architecting for Speed After the Safe Harbor Collapse

With the recent invalidation of the Safe Harbor agreement, relying on US-based clouds is risky. Here is how to build a compliant, high-performance edge layer in Norway using Varnish, Nginx, and bare-metal performance.
