I had the problem. I built the tool.
Scheduling EC2 and RDS resources so they don’t keep running when nobody needs them.

I lead the engineering team at Digital Marmalade. Most of my day-to-day work is on Spartacus Insights. Outside work, I’m building ParkMyAWS.
Notes from the workI had the problem. I built the tool.
Scheduling EC2 and RDS resources so they don’t keep running when nobody needs them.
From problem to product The work you stay with.
At Digital Marmalade, I lead engineering on Spartacus Insights, a cybersecurity assessment platform. My work covers assessment workflows, analysis graphics, and reporting, alongside the technical decisions that keep the product moving.
How we coordinate graphics preparation, cached output and queued PDF generation in Spartacus Insights, and why exporting includes more than creating the file.
What it takes to deliver long assessment reports with user content, charts, reliable navigation and PDF metadata, using Laravel and browser-based tools.
One of the SaaS products I've been building at Digital Marmalade finally has a public website. It's been running for 5 years, and anyone can now see what it does.
The product is done: scheduling works, savings dashboard works, no credentials stored. Now comes the scary bit, putting it in front of real users.
I’ve been at Digital Marmalade since 2015. I’m based in Cyprus, working remotely, and I write about the systems and products I spend my time building.
