It is March 2016. Microservices are exploding, and your latency is skyrocketing. Here is how to tune Nginx and the Linux kernel for sub-millisecond routing on high-performance KVM VPS infrastructure in Norway.
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.
Physics doesn't negotiate. While major cloud providers push centralized regions in Frankfurt or Ireland, Norwegian users pay the price in latency. Here is a battle-tested guide to deploying 'Edge' infrastructure using distributed KVM VPS instances in Oslo.
Is your application slow or is the server dying? In the wake of the Safe Harbor collapse, hosting data in Norway is crucial, but performance is non-negotiable. We dive into the ELK stack, New Relic, and system-level debugging to identify bottlenecks before your users do.
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 your REST API choking under load? We dive deep into Linux kernel tuning, NGINX upstream keepalives, and why CPU Steal Time is the silent killer of API performance in virtualized environments.
Is your server load spiking despite low CPU usage? The culprit is likely I/O wait. We break down why 15k RPM SAS drives can't handle modern web apps and how SSD arrays change the math.
