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.

Safe Harbor is Dead: Architecting a Pragmatic Multi-Cloud Strategy for 2016

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.

Multi-Cloud vs. Hybrid: Architecting for Redundancy and Norwegian Data Sovereignty

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.

Surviving the Cloud Hype: A Pragmatic Hybrid Strategy for Norwegian IT

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.

Zero-Downtime Database Migrations: A Battle Plan for 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.

Latency is the Enemy: Why Centralized Architectures Fail Norwegian Users (And How to Fix It)

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.

Taming Microservices: Implementing High-Availability Service Discovery with Consul & HAProxy

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.

The Monolith Must Die: Practical Database Sharding Strategies for High-Traffic Apps

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.

Database Sharding Strategies: Surviving High-Scale Writes in 2015
