Stop building distributed monoliths. A battle-hardened look at API Gateways, Service Discovery with Consul, and the infrastructure requirements to run Docker successfully in 2016.
Is the 'Serverless' hype worth the vendor lock-in? We explore how to implement event-driven architectures using Docker and Queues on high-performance Norwegian VPS infrastructure, avoiding cold starts and data sovereignty headaches.
Monoliths are safe; distributed systems are chaotic. We explore the 2016 microservices landscape, from Service Discovery with Consul to handling NIX latency, and why fast I/O is non-negotiable.
Your dashboard shows 100% uptime, but your customers are churning. We dismantle the 'check_http' mindset and explore how to build a 2016-era observability stack using ELK and Graphite on high-performance KVM architecture.
We benchmark the complexity and performance of Kubernetes 1.2 against Docker Swarm and Mesos. Discover why raw infrastructure latency matters more than your orchestration tool choice for Nordic deployments.
When your master database hits the I/O ceiling, adding RAM won't save you. We dissect practical sharding strategies for MySQL and PostgreSQL, specifically tailored for high-performance infrastructure in the Nordic region.
With the recent invalidation of Safe Harbor, relying solely on US-based giants is a liability. Here is how to architect a compliant, high-performance hybrid infrastructure using local KVM instances and open-source tools.
Public cloud isn't the answer to everything. In the wake of Safe Harbor's collapse, learn how to architect a hybrid strategy combining local Norwegian VPS performance with public cloud scalability.
Breaking the monolith is the trend of 2016, but network latency creates new points of failure. We analyze API Gateways, Service Discovery with Consul, and why infrastructure choice defines your uptime.
Latency is the silent killer of user experience. We explore how moving compute logic to the edge—specifically into Oslo-based NVMe nodes—solves performance bottlenecks and data sovereignty headaches for Norwegian businesses.
Stop managing Nginx config files by hand. Learn how to deploy Kong as an API Gateway to centralize authentication, rate limiting, and logging for your microservices architecture, specifically optimized for high-performance KVM environments.
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.
