Centralized cloud architectures are failing modern IoT and real-time workloads. We dissect how to architect a distributed edge layer using low-latency VPS nodes in Oslo, covering MQTT aggregation, Nginx micro-caching, and the 2018 GDPR reality.
Vendor lock-in is the silent killer of agility. With GDPR enforcement looming in 2018, reliance on a single US provider is a strategic risk. Here is how to architect a hybrid solution using KVM, HAProxy, and Terraform.
Moving from a monolithic architecture to microservices is dangerous if you don't manage the complexity. We explore the API Gateway pattern, Service Discovery with Consul, and why low-latency infrastructure in Norway is critical for distributed systems.
It is May 2017, and the industry is screaming about FaaS. But for serious Norwegian DevOps, AWS Lambda's latency and lock-in are deal-breakers. Here is how to build serverless architectures on your own terms using Docker, RabbitMQ, and high-performance NVMe VPS.
Is Serverless the end of the VPS? Unlikely. We dissect the hype, analyze the latency penalties for Nordic users, and demonstrate how to build a hybrid event-driven architecture using Docker Swarm and high-performance KVM instances.
It is May 2017. Your Nagios dashboard says everything is fine, but customers are screaming on Twitter. Here is why traditional monitoring is dead, and how to build an observability stack on Norwegian infrastructure.
Multi-cloud isn't just a buzzword; it's an economic necessity. We analyze the TCO of splitting workloads between hyperscalers and local high-performance KVM instances, focusing on latency, GDPR preparedness, and raw NVMe performance.
Move beyond the monolith without breaking production. We analyze the API Gateway pattern using Nginx and Consul, specifically tailored for Norwegian infrastructure requirements and GDPR preparation.
Monoliths are safe; microservices are a distributed systems minefield. We explore battle-tested patterns (API Gateways, Service Discovery) to maintain sanity, leveraging KVM isolation and NVMe storage to combat latency in the Norwegian ecosystem.
Cloud providers promise nirvana with 'Serverless', but the latency and vendor lock-in can kill your architecture. Here is how to build a high-performance FaaS platform on Norwegian infrastructure using Docker and OpenFaaS.
Is your cloud bill spiraling while performance stagnates? We explore a hybrid infrastructure strategy combining local Nordic stability with public cloud elasticity, preparing you for the upcoming GDPR enforcement.
The 'Serverless' buzzword is dominating 2017, but proprietary cloud functions come with cold starts and data residency risks. Here is how to architect a containerized, self-hosted FaaS alternative using Docker and Nginx on Norwegian infrastructure.
Microservices are trending, but they turn function calls into network calls. Here is how to architect for resilience using NGINX, Hystrix, and Consul without destroying your latency budgets in Oslo.
When 'adding more RAM' stops working, you need a strategy. We dissect database sharding architectures relevant to high-traffic European workloads in 2017.
When vertical scaling hits the ceiling, sharding is the only way out. We explore practical sharding strategies using MySQL 5.7 and ProxySQL, tailored for low-latency infrastructure in Norway.
Serverless isn't magic—it's just someone else's computer with a 3-second cold start. Learn how to combine FaaS scalability with the raw IOPS of NVMe VPS for a robust, low-latency architecture.
While the world rushes to AWS and Azure, smart CTOs in Norway are realizing that 'All-in' on public cloud means spiraling costs and compliance headaches. Here is how to architect a robust, GDPR-ready hybrid infrastructure using Terraform, HAProxy, and high-performance local VPS.
When your monolithic database hits the vertical ceiling, sharding is the nuclear option. We explore hash-based vs. range-based strategies, implementation patterns in MySQL 5.7, and why low-latency infrastructure in Oslo is critical for distributed data consistency.
Public cloud scalability often masks massive inefficiencies. We analyze the TCO of high-performance infrastructure in 2017, from NVMe economics to the looming GDPR regulations.
Microservices solve organizational scaling but introduce network chaos. Here is how to implement the sidecar pattern using Linkerd to handle retries, timeouts, and circuit breaking without touching your application code.
When vertical scaling hits the wall, sharding is your only exit. We explore key-based and range-based partitioning, handling cross-shard JOINs, and why low-latency infrastructure is non-negotiable for distributed data layers.
Microservices solve code complexity but introduce network chaos. In this 2016 guide, we explore the emerging 'Service Mesh' pattern using Linkerd to handle service discovery and circuit breaking without code changes, and why underlying hardware performance is critical for this JVM-heavy architecture.
Moving from monolithic architectures to microservices requires more than just Docker. We explore critical patterns for orchestration, service discovery, and the infrastructure requirements needed to handle the latency overhead in the Norwegian market.
Is Serverless the end of the sysadmin? Hardly. In this 2016 retrospective, we dissect the latency, cost, and lock-in risks of FaaS, and propose a high-performance hybrid model using Docker and NVMe VPS in Norway.
Stop routing your Norwegian traffic through Frankfurt. We explore practical Edge Computing architectures using Nginx, Varnish, and local VPS nodes to crush latency and satisfy Datatilsynet.
With the fall of Safe Harbor and the looming GDPR, relying solely on US-based hyperscalers is a liability. This guide details a hybrid infrastructure strategy using Terraform 0.7 and OpenVPN to bridge local Norwegian NVMe storage with public cloud scalability.
It is November 2016. Safe Harbor is dead, Privacy Shield is shaky, and AWS latency to Oslo is still physical. Here is a battle-tested architecture for keeping data legal and fast using CoolVDS and Terraform.
Vendor lock-in is the silent killer of profitability. In this guide, we dismantle the 'all-in' cloud myth and build a high-performance, legally compliant hybrid infrastructure using Terraform, Consul, and local NVMe powerhouses.
While the hype around AWS Lambda grows, pragmatic engineers know the truth: serverless doesn't mean no servers. We explore hybrid patterns that combine FaaS agility with the raw power of NVMe-backed VDS for stateful reliability.
Is your entire infrastructure held hostage by a single US hyperscaler? We break down a battle-tested architecture using local Norwegian VPS for core data stability and public cloud for burst capacity—featuring real config examples for HAProxy and Ansible.
