MySQL LIKE queries are destroying your load times. Here is how to deploy Elasticsearch 0.90 properly on a Norwegian KVM VPS without blowing up the JVM heap or hitting I/O bottlenecks.
Hypervisors are heavy. In a world demanding millisecond latency, Linux Containers (LXC) offer bare-metal performance with VM-like manageability. Here is why you should care.
Relational databases are hitting a wall. Learn why MongoDB 2.0's document model is the future for agile development and why typical shared hosting kills NoSQL performance.
Is Apache's memory bloat killing your server? We benchmark the industry standard against the lightweight contender, Lighttpd, to see which web server architecture reigns supreme for Norwegian high-traffic sites.
Is your server swapping during peak hours? We ditch the bloated Apache mod_php model for the lean, mean architecture of Nginx and PHP-FPM. Learn the specific configurations to handle thousands of concurrent Norwegian users without melting your CPU.
Is your server load spiking despite low CPU usage? The culprit is likely I/O wait. We break down why 15k RPM SAS drives can't handle modern web apps and how SSD arrays change the math.
Your database is the bottleneck. We dissect InnoDB buffer pools, the move to SSD storage, and the critical my.cnf settings needed to survive traffic spikes.
Disk latency is the silent killer of web applications. We benchmark Redis vs Memcached, explore the new persistence features in version 2.2, and explain why high-performance VPS hosting in Oslo is critical for Norwegian data handling.
