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.
The cloud honeymoon is over. Discover how to architect a redundant, legally compliant infrastructure that leverages Norwegian data sovereignty without sacrificing global reach.
Moving from a LAMP stack to microservices isn't just about Docker—it's about network architecture. We explore API Gateways, service isolation, and why latency within the Oslo stack matters more than you think.
The 'Docker run' honeymoon is over. We break down the current state of multi-host container orchestration, comparing Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Mesos for production environments in Norway.
Don't hand the keys to your kingdom to a single US giant. A pragmatic guide to building a resilient, hybrid infrastructure using Norwegian jurisdiction and KVM portability.
Is relying solely on Frankfurt or Ireland hurting your latency in Oslo? We dismantle the single-vendor myth and demonstrate a hybrid architecture using VPN tunnels, local KVM instances, and smart load balancing.
A pragmatic guide for CTOs balancing global scale with Norwegian data sovereignty. Learn how to architect a hybrid infrastructure that minimizes latency and maximizes compliance.
With the recent buzz around AWS Lambda, everyone is talking about eliminating servers. But for Norwegian businesses, the latency to Ireland and vendor lock-in are dealbreakers. Here is how to implement serverless patterns using Docker and KVM without losing control.
Moving from monolithic architectures to microservices introduces network complexity and latency challenges. We explore service discovery, containerization with Docker 1.6, and why raw KVM performance is non-negotiable for distributed systems in 2015.
While Silicon Valley buzzes about AWS Lambda, pragmatic engineers know the truth: latency and vendor lock-in are the killers. Here is how to architect a container-based microservices platform on KVM that rivals 'serverless' agility without sacrificing control.
While AWS Lambda makes headlines, the real power of the 'serverless' concept lies in decoupled, asynchronous architectures. Here is how to build event-driven worker pools using RabbitMQ and Docker without suffering vendor lock-in or latency penalties.
Is your monolithic LAMP stack crumbling under traffic? Learn how to decouple services using Nginx and KVM without incurring massive latency penalties in the Nordic region.

Is your site sluggish despite low traffic? We dissect the architectural bottlenecks of shared environments, the "noisy neighbor" effect, and why switching to a Xen-based VPS is critical for Norwegian businesses in 2011.
While everyone talks about 'The Cloud' and unlimited space, the real bottleneck is disk I/O. We analyze why shared SANs fail under load and how local SSD RAID architectures in Norway are solving the latency crisis.
