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.
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.
RAID is not a backup. In this deep dive, we explore RTO/RPO strategies, script automated offsite backups with rsync, and discuss why data sovereignty in Norway matters more than ever before the 2018 GDPR rollout.
With the GDPR enforcement date looming, the traditional 'castle and moat' security strategy is becoming a liability. We dismantle the perimeter and build a Zero-Trust model using KVM isolation, micro-segmentation, and rigorous identity management.
Latency kills. Learn how to tune the Linux kernel and Nginx for high-throughput API gateways, specifically tailored for the Norwegian network topology available in 2017.
Is your monthly AWS bill spiraling out of control? Learn how to audit zombie processes, tune MySQL for density, and leverage Norwegian KVM instances to cut infrastructure overhead by 40%.
Monoliths were easy. Microservices are a distributed nightmare of latency and failures. Here is how to regain control using Linkerd and Kubernetes 1.5 without burning down your infrastructure.
Is your application slow, or is your server choking? In 2017, 'it works on my machine' is not a valid excuse. We dive deep into Nginx metrics, PHP slow logs, and the critical impact of CPU steal time on shared hosting.
Microservices solved your scaling problems but broke your debugging. Learn how to deploy Linkerd as a service mesh to regain visibility and reliability, and why underlying hardware matters for latency.
Nagios checks might turn green, but your users are still seeing 504 errors. It's time to move from binary monitoring to deep instrumentation with Prometheus and ELK on high-IOPS infrastructure.
Don't let Black Friday traffic melt your API. We examine critical kernel parameters, Nginx worker optimization, and why dedicated KVM resources beat shared containers for consistent throughput in the Nordic market.
Centralized clouds are failing real-time applications. We explore how deploying logic closer to Norwegian users—using local KVM VPS and TCP tuning—solves the latency crisis.
Stop relying on basic uptime checks. In 2016, performance is the new uptime. Learn how to implement the ELK stack, debug MySQL latency, and why underlying hardware I/O is the silent killer of application speed.
Backup is not disaster recovery. In this guide, we dismantle common data safety myths, explore 2016's evolving privacy regulations in Norway, and implement a master-slave replication architecture using KVM and NVMe storage.
Top doesn't tell the whole story. Discover how to identify bottlenecks using Nginx custom logging, PHP-FPM slow logs, and the ELK stack, while ensuring data compliance in Norway.
Breaking the monolith is the trend of 2016, but network latency and IOPS bottlenecks will kill your deployment. Here is a battle-tested guide to microservices architecture using Nginx, Docker, and Consul on high-performance infrastructure.
While the industry buzzes about 'Fog Computing,' the reality is simpler: physics wins. Here is how deploying decentralized VPS nodes in Norway reduces latency for IoT and high-traffic apps.
A battle-hardened guide to optimizing Nginx as an API Gateway on Linux. We cover kernel tuning, SSL handshakes, and why low-latency infrastructure in Norway matters for your TCO.
When vertical scaling hits the wall, sharding is your only exit. We explore application-level sharding strategies, critical MySQL 5.7 configurations, and why low-latency infrastructure in Norway is non-negotiable for distributed data layers.
Migrating a production database doesn't have to be a game of Russian Roulette. We explore master-slave replication strategies, Percona XtraBackup, and the critical role of NVMe storage in reducing replication lag for Norwegian enterprises.
Uptime is a vanity metric. If your latency is high, you're down. We dive deep into monitoring I/O wait, handling the post-Safe Harbor data landscape, and why raw KVM performance beats containerized noise.
Default Nginx configurations are bottlenecking your API. We dive deep into kernel tuning, worker connections, and SSL optimization to handle high concurrency on KVM infrastructure.
Stop praying during deployments. Learn how to architect fail-safe canary releases using HAProxy weighting and Nginx split_clients to route traffic safely. Essential reading for Norwegian DevOps teams navigating the post-Safe Harbor landscape.
Breaking the monolith isn't just code refactoring—it's an infrastructure war. We explore Docker 1.9 networking, Consul service discovery, and why the recent Safe Harbor invalidation makes hosting in Norway non-negotiable.
Microservices are shifting the bottleneck to the edge. Learn how to tune Nginx, optimize Linux kernel interrupts, and leverage Norway-based KVM infrastructure to survive the Safe Harbor fallout.
Your builds are too slow, and it's probably disk I/O. We analyze how to cut Jenkins build times by 40% using Docker caching, proper SSD allocation, and local Norwegian infrastructure.
Monolithic architectures are dying, but microservices introduce a new nightmare: networking complexity. Learn how to architect a robust service communication layer (the precursor to a service mesh) using Consul, HAProxy, and Docker on high-performance infrastructure.
Sharding is a last resort, not a feature. We explore architectural patterns for scaling MySQL and PostgreSQL horizontally, specifically tailored for the Norwegian infrastructure landscape post-Safe Harbor.
Microservices solve code complexity but introduce network chaos. Learn how to implement a robust service discovery layer using Consul, HAProxy, and rock-solid KVM infrastructure to keep your distributed system from collapsing.
With the EU Safe Harbor ruling invalidating US data transfers, hosting your build pipeline in Norway is no longer optional—it's survival. We dive into the Jenkins Workflow plugin (the future 2.0 standard) to replace fragile UI configurations with robust code.
