Cloud Custodian is an open source project from Capital One. It allows you to enforce your cloud compliance rules in an automated way.

This will shut down EC2 instances outside working hours to save money.

In this post I will talk about Consumer Driven Contracts in Microservices architectures. I will also give an example of how to use Pact in a modern JavaScript application.
Data Engineering
In this post I describe how to use Elastic's Rally to generate benchmarks for your private Elasticsearch queries and clusters. I'll be creating a benchmark which allows comparison of an unscored query with one where scoring is enabled.
