Alert fatigue is killing your DevOps team. Learn how to architect a self-hosted Prometheus and Grafana stack on KVM, ensuring GDPR compliance post-Schrems II while eliminating 'noisy neighbor' false positives.
Is Kubernetes overkill? Is Docker Swarm dead? We benchmark orchestration overhead, analyze the impact of the Schrems II ruling on hosting choices, and explain why NVMe latency is the silent killer of k8s clusters.
Manual deployments are a liability. In a post-Schrems II world, learn how to implement a pull-based GitOps workflow using ArgoCD on Kubernetes, ensuring compliance and stability in Norwegian infrastructure.
Cloud costs are bleeding European budgets dry. From kernel-level tuning to navigating the Schrems II legal minefield, here is a pragmatic CTO's guide to cutting hosting TCO by 40% without sacrificing IOPS.
Centralized cloud architectures are failing modern low-latency demands. From the Schrems II ruling to IoT data aggregation, we analyze why moving compute to the Norwegian edge is the pragmatic move for 2020.
With the recent CJEU ruling invalidating Privacy Shield and the NOK struggling against the USD, reliance on US hyperscalers is becoming a financial and legal liability. Here is a pragmatic technical guide to cutting hosting costs by 40% while staying compliant in Norway.
Manual deployments are a liability. Learn how to architect a "Pull-based" GitOps pipeline using ArgoCD, GitLab CI, and high-performance infrastructure to eliminate configuration drift and sleep through the night.
It is July 2020. Everyone wants Kubernetes, but do you need it? We benchmark K8s against Docker Swarm on Norwegian infrastructure, analyzing the trade-offs in complexity, latency, and data sovereignty.
Vertical scaling has a ceiling. When your InnoDB buffer pool exceeds physical RAM and NVMe I/O waits spike, it is time to talk about sharding. We explore application-level versus middleware-based sharding strategies relevant for high-traffic European workloads in 2020.
Vertical scaling has a limit. Learn how to implement database sharding without destroying your data integrity, using 2020's best practices for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Microservices turn method calls into network calls, and network calls fail. Here is how to implement Istio 1.6 correctly without killing your latency, focused on high-performance infrastructure in Norway.
Is your AWS bill growing faster than your user base? Discover actionable strategies to slash infrastructure costs by leveraging NVMe performance, auditing I/O wait, and repatriating workloads to Norway.
Stop over-engineering your infrastructure. Here is why a Hybrid approach combining local Norwegian NVMe VPS with hyperscaler bursting is the only architecture that satisfies both your CFO and Datatilsynet.
Cloud bills are skyrocketing across Europe. This guide dissects the hidden costs of hyperscalers—from egress fees to CPU credits—and demonstrates how a return to high-performance VDS and rigorous configuration tuning can slash TCO by 40%.
When vertical scaling hits the hardware ceiling, sharding is the only way out. We explore practical sharding strategies using ProxySQL and PostgreSQL, aimed at maintaining low latency in Norwegian data centers.
Serverless doesn't mean no servers; it means someone else's servers are billing you by the millisecond. We explore how to build a compliant, low-latency FaaS architecture in Norway using OpenFaaS and NVMe-backed VPS, bypassing the public cloud tax.
Most DevOps engineers blame the CPU for slow builds, but the real bottleneck is often disk I/O. Learn how to optimize GitLab runners and Jenkins nodes using NVMe storage and proper caching strategies in a Norwegian infrastructure context.
Comparison of container orchestrators for Norwegian DevOps teams. We analyze K8s vs Swarm, the impact of storage I/O on etcd stability, and why raw metal performance matters more than your YAML files.
Database migration doesn't have to mean 3 AM panic attacks. We explore battle-tested strategies for moving terabytes of data across the Norwegian infrastructure stack without dropping connections.
Hyperscalers are powerful, but data sovereignty and egress fees are silent killers. Here is how to architect a hybrid infrastructure that leverages local Norwegian NVMe performance while maintaining GDPR compliance.
Vertical scaling has a ceiling. Learn practical database sharding strategies using ProxySQL and MySQL 8.0, and why infrastructure latency in Norway matters more than you think.
Why your 'slow website' isn't just a code problem. We dive into setting up Prometheus, Grafana, and analyzing CPU Steal time to distinguish between bad code and bad hosting.
A deep dive into RTO/RPO strategies for Nordic infrastructure. Learn how to architect failover systems using MySQL replication, BorgBackup, and high-performance NVMe VPS solutions to ensure business continuity under GDPR.
It's June 2019, and the container wars are shifting. We analyze the trade-offs between Kubernetes complexity and Docker Swarm simplicity, specifically for teams operating within the Norwegian jurisdiction.
Microservices solved your scaling problems but broke your observability. Here is how to implement Istio and Linkerd without destroying your latency budgets, focusing on the specific constraints of Norwegian infrastructure.
Serverless is the buzzword of 2019, but AWS Lambda isn't the only game in town. We explore running OpenFaaS on high-performance KVM instances to get the best of both worlds: developer velocity and infrastructure control.
A battle-hardened look at microservices architecture in 2019. We strip away the hype to focus on patterns that prevent downtime: API Gateways, Circuit Breakers, and the infrastructure needed to run them in Norway.
Stop blaming your backend code. Learn how to tune the Linux kernel and Nginx for high-throughput API Gateways, and why hardware isolation is the hidden variable in your 99th percentile latency.
Stop SSH-ing into production. Learn how to implement a robust GitOps workflow using Flux and Kubernetes, ensuring your infrastructure is as version-controlled as your code. Optimized for Nordic compliance and NVMe performance.
A deep dive into optimizing the Linux kernel and Nginx for millisecond-level API responses. We cover sysctl tuning, TLS 1.3 implementation, and why hardware selection determines your ceiling.
