Understanding Container Isolation and Resource Caps

How Linux cgroups and namespace isolation guarantee that neighbor sites cannot degrade your performance.

Why Container Isolation Matters

On traditional shared hosting and pseudo-cloud platforms, dozens of websites share the same kernel process table and memory pool. If a neighboring website suffers a traffic spike, runs an unindexed SQL query, or gets compromised, all other sites on the server slow down.

Hardware-Enforced Resource Caps

Tinave enforces strict isolation using Linux kernel control groups (cgroups) and isolated namespaces:

  • Dedicated Memory: Your site is allocated dedicated physical RAM. It cannot be consumed by adjacent pods.
  • vCPU Execution: CPU cycles are allocated with strict priorities, preventing background worker starvation.
  • Dedicated MariaDB 11 Database: Your SQL queries execute in an isolated database container with dedicated InnoDB buffer pools.
Guaranteed Stability: Even during massive traffic spikes, your TTFB remains stable because no other tenant can steal your server resources.
