Navigating the nascent container orchestration wars of 2015. We benchmark Docker Swarm, the newly released Kubernetes 1.0, and Apache Mesos to see which stack belongs on your Norwegian VPS infrastructure.
Migrating live production databases without killing your SLA requires military precision. Here is the exact replication strategy and my.cnf tuning we use to move heavy I/O workloads across the Nordic infrastructure.
Docker is taking over the world, but running it in production is a battlefield. We benchmark the three leading orchestration contenders—Kubernetes, Mesos/Marathon, and Docker Swarm—and analyze why your underlying VPS architecture decides who wins.
Cloud adoption was supposed to save us money. Two years later, the CFO is asking why our hosting bill rivals our payroll. Here is a pragmatic look at optimizing spend, rightsizing instances, and why data sovereignty in Norway matters more than ever in 2015.
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.
While AWS re:Invent just hyped 'Lambda', the real revolution for Nordic developers is building robust, event-driven worker queues. Learn how to architect non-blocking systems using RabbitMQ, Node.js, and solid KVM infrastructure without sacrificing data sovereignty.
It is late 2014 and Docker is eating the world. But running containers in production without hardening is negligence. We dissect LXC isolation, kernel exploits, and why KVM is your safety net.
Stop blaming your code for slow API responses. A battle-hardened guide to kernel tuning, Nginx optimization, and why hardware isolation matters for high-load systems in Norway.
