Readers may enjoy Flowpipe [1], an open source cloud scripting engine we launched this week. It allows creation of pipelines in HCL to connect HTTP queries, run containers, execute lambda-compatible functions, query databases, etc all from your own machine / CLI. It can also be combined with Steampie[2], our open source project to query cloud resources (139+ plugins) with SQL. We're more DevOps focused, but Yahoo Pipes was part of the inspiration for our naming of these "pipes" :-)
Thanks for your kind words - so great to hear that :-). We're really excited about Flowpipe and think it makes "cloud scripting" really fun & easy through pipelines - please let us know how you go and what we can improve!
