Latency is the new downtime. As IoT and real-time apps explode, relying on a datacenter in Frankfurt or Virginia is a strategic error. Here is how to architect true edge performance using local VDS nodes, Nginx tuning, and MQTT aggregation.
Microservices solve the monolith problem but introduce network hell. Learn how to architect a battle-ready service discovery layer (the precursor to a service mesh) using Consul, HAProxy, and Docker on high-performance KVM instances.
In 2016, binary 'up/down' checks are insufficient. Learn how to move from basic monitoring to deep system introspection using ELK stack and high-IOPS infrastructure in Norway.
When your primary master hits 100% I/O wait, vertical scaling stops working. We explore practical sharding strategies using MySQL 5.7, ProxySQL, and KVM architecture to maintain sub-millisecond latency for Norwegian workloads.
A battle-hardened guide to database sharding strategies using MySQL 5.7 and MongoDB 3.2. We cover application-level partitioning, UUID vs. Ticket Servers, and why low-latency infrastructure in Norway is critical for distributed consistency.
It is 2016, and the monolith is dying. Learn how to deploy scalable microservices using Docker 1.10, Nginx, and Consul without drowning in complexity. We cover the architecture, the config, and why hardware selection is the silent killer of distributed systems.
It is February 2016. Docker is everywhere, but managing it at scale is a nightmare. We benchmark Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, and Mesos to find the best fit for Nordic infrastructure.
Moving from a monolith to microservices introduces a new enemy: network latency. We explore the Nginx gateway pattern, service discovery with Consul, and why the recent Safe Harbor ruling makes hosting data in Norway critical for DevOps teams in 2016.
Is AWS Lambda the future or just vendor lock-in with latency issues? We analyze Serverless patterns for 2016, the death of Safe Harbor, and how to build event-driven architectures on high-performance Norwegian VPS without losing control.
AWS Lambda is trending, but the recent Safe Harbor invalidation changes the game for European data. Learn how to implement serverless-style event loops using Docker 1.9 and RabbitMQ on high-performance Norwegian infrastructure.
With the ECJ invalidating Safe Harbor, reliance on US-only hosting is a liability. Here is a technical guide to building a compliant, low-latency hybrid infrastructure using Ansible, HAProxy, and local KVM instances.
Breaking the monolith isn't just code refactoring—it's an infrastructure war. We explore Docker 1.9 networking, Consul service discovery, and why the recent Safe Harbor invalidation makes hosting in Norway non-negotiable.
With the recent invalidation of Safe Harbor, data locality is critical. Learn when to shard your MySQL architecture and why vertical scaling on Norwegian NVMe infrastructure might be the smarter move in late 2015.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The ECJ just invalidated Safe Harbor. Relying solely on US hyperscalers is now a compliance risk. Here is how to build a hybrid infrastructure that balances sovereignty with scalability.
Is public cloud lock-in draining your IT budget? We analyze the TCO of hybrid architectures in 2015, combining AWS scalability with the raw IOPS of local KVM VPS, and why keeping core data in Norway matters more than ever.
Is the 'all-in' public cloud strategy actually costing you more? We analyze the TCO of hybrid infrastructures, data sovereignty under the Data Protection Directive, and how to technically bridge CoolVDS with hyperscalers using HAProxy in 2015.
Migrating a live production database without killing your uptime is a surgical procedure. We break down the Master-Slave swing strategy, disk I/O bottlenecks, and why keeping your data on Norwegian soil is the smartest compliance move you can make right now.
In 2015, hosting in Frankfurt isn't enough. We explore practical strategies for distributed infrastructure, the rise of the 'Edge', and why local presence in Oslo is critical for performance and compliance.
Microservices solve scale but introduce chaos. Learn how to build a robust routing layer using Consul and HAProxy on KVM—the 2015 standard for resilient architecture.
Vertical scaling hits a wall. When your `innodb_buffer_pool_size` exceeds physical RAM, it's time to shard. We break down the architecture of distributed databases, consistent hashing, and why low-latency infrastructure in Norway is critical for performance.
When your monolithic database hits the I/O wall, vertical scaling isn't enough. We dive deep into practical sharding strategies, implementation pitfalls, and why infrastructure latency is the silent killer of distributed data.
While the industry shouts 'Move to the Cloud,' the smart CTO knows the dangers of vendor lock-in. Here is how to architect a resilient, cost-effective infrastructure that leverages Norwegian data sovereignty without sacrificing global reach.
Moving from a monolith to microservices isn't just about Docker—it's about network architecture. We explore the essential patterns (API Gateways, Service Discovery) you need to survive the transition, keeping latency low and Datatilsynet happy.
AWS Lambda is making waves, but vendor lock-in and cold starts are production killers. Here is how to architect a true event-driven microservices stack on high-performance VPS in Norway using Docker and RabbitMQ.
