Have you ever heard someone complain about their tests being too fast? Me neither. Fast tests mean fast feedback. Whether you run them locally or in a continuous integration pipeline, the earlier your tests finish, the earlier you can react to failures and improve your code.

With all that said, creating a lightning-fast test suite isn't always as easy as you'd hope.

A new year is always a good time to check your expenses. One expense that keeps on climbing constantly in many organizations is related to the cloud expenses, expected to expand up to $1 trillion by 2024, according to IDC. While this can be a good thing, indicating the business is scaling and cloud resources are in high demand, there is often a lot of waste coming from inefficient cloud usage, unnecessary SaaS tooling, endless logs, and more.
