We dismantle the hype around microservices to focus on failure domains, circuit breaking, and the infrastructure reality. Learn why latency sensitivity demands pure KVM, not oversold containers, especially when peering via NIX.
Distributed systems are just a fancy way to fail in parallel. We dissect battle-tested patterns for high-availability architectures, focusing on latency reduction, circuit breaking, and Norwegian data sovereignty.
Sharding is the nuclear option of database scaling. Learn when to pull the trigger, how to implement consistent hashing, and why infrastructure latency defines success in 2025.
When vertical scaling hits the hardware ceiling, sharding is the only path forward. We analyze hash vs. range strategies, implement PostgreSQL 16 partitioning, and discuss why network latency dictates your architecture's success.
