Ahmed Grati contributed to open-source projects such as apache/druid, red-hat-data-services/kuberay, and rancher/node-feature-discovery, focusing on backend development and Kubernetes tooling. He enhanced the Druid repository by integrating Prometheus group-by metrics and improving error logging for scatter-gather limits, using Java and Prometheus to strengthen observability and resource management. In kuberay, Ahmed improved Helm chart reliability by adding default environment variable handling and topology spread constraints, leveraging Go and Helm to reduce deployment errors and support scalable Ray clusters. He also developed utilities and tests for namespace label patching in node-feature-discovery, demonstrating depth in DevOps and E2E testing practices.
December 2025: Delivered enhanced logging for scatter-gather limit exceed in apache/druid to improve error reporting and resource management. The change logs total bytes gathered when the scatter-gather limit is reached, enabling faster diagnosis, better capacity planning, and more reliable MTTR under high-load conditions. Implemented as a dedicated feature commit linked to issue #18841 (582d61c9253a709563301c7182785444b85f36eb).

In November 2024, delivered a critical Helm chart enhancement for the Ray-based kuberay deployment, improving reliability and flexibility of cluster configurations. The change adds default environment variable handling for additional worker groups, reducing misconfigurations and startup errors when containerEnv is not specified. This strengthens production readiness for Ray clusters and supports smoother scaling of worker groups.
