AWS EMR usage/cost insights

I am looking to validate a tool I built for companies / individuals with large AWS implementations. My solution will identify the individual cost of each map-reduce job/run in the cloud without any legwork like tagging jobs or working backwards from an invoice. At this time I am looking for feedback, please check it out @ https://www.clustercost.com Once you see the data my product provides, you can easily identify which jobs incur the highest cost, identify bottlenecks, and nail down the suboptimal processing routines. A quick test could be performed as easy as this: -…

DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups. Here's how it works: We are typically brought in by a DevOps manager to cut AWS EC2 costs. The app is entirely self-service and the savings are generated automatically,…
