Latency is a function of physics. Compliance is a function of law. Here is how to engineer edge architectures in 2021 using Norwegian infrastructure to satisfy both.
Microservices are great until they can't talk to each other. Learn how to build a resilient service discovery layer—the precursor to a 'service mesh'—using HAProxy, Consul, and Docker in 2015.
It is 2014. Netflix is breaking their monolith, and you want to follow suit. Here is how to implement a service-oriented architecture using Nginx, HAProxy, and KVM without destroying your uptime.
Don't let a single provider's outage sink your business. We explore how to architect a robust, hybrid infrastructure using HAProxy, Galera, and Norwegian data sovereignty to beat latency and US surveillance risks.
Moving from monolithic architectures to decoupled services is painful but necessary. We explore API Gateways, Service Discovery without the bloat, and why KVM isolation beats early containerization for production stability.
Hardcoded IPs are the silent killers of uptime. In this deep dive, we explore implementing the 'Smart Stack' pattern using HAProxy and Zookeeper to create a self-healing service layer on high-performance KVM instances.
Monoliths are dying, but the network is unreliable. Learn how to build a resilient service layer (a proto-mesh) using HAProxy, Zookeeper, and KVM-based virtualization to keep latency low in Norwegian datacenters.
Cloud SLAs are just refunds, not uptime. Learn how to architect true redundancy using HAProxy, MySQL 5.6 GTIDs, and a hybrid mix of AWS and Norwegian iron.
A battle-hardened comparison of the two dominant RDBMS giants in late 2012. We analyze locking mechanisms, replication quirks, and why hardware I/O is the silent killer of database performance.
SOAP is dead. Mobile is eating the world. Learn how to architect low-latency JSON APIs using PHP-FPM, APC caching, and Nginx in a high-performance Nordic environment.
A deep technical dive into the MySQL 5.5 vs PostgreSQL 9.1 debate. We analyze locking mechanisms, replication strategies, and why your choice of disk I/O infrastructure matters more than the engine itself.
As we approach 2010, the "Cloud" buzzword is shifting IT budgets. We analyze why moving from physical SANs to VDS-based storage improves TCO and I/O performance in Norway.
Is your LAMP stack buckling under the Slashdot effect? Stop throwing RAM at a single server. We explore Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Nginx reverse proxying, and why RAID-10 SAS storage is the only viable option for serious Norwegian deployments.
