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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
