Infracost, launched in late 2020 as an open-source project by Hassan, Ali, and Alistair, has successfully raised $2.2 million in seed funding from prominent investors such as Sequoia, Y Combinator, SV Angel, and angel investor Yun-Fang Juan. The platform addresses a significant gap in cloud cost transparency for DevOps and SRE teams by providing real-time cost visibility within their workflows, enabling them to understand the financial impact of cloud resources before production deployment. With over 4,000 GitHub stars and a thriving community, Infracost tracks over 3 million price points from major cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, and is compatible with popular CI/CD systems and Terraform, with plans to support more Infrastructure as Code tools. The team continues to tackle complex challenges such as supporting diverse cloud resources, accommodating custom pricing for large enterprises, and estimating usage-based costs, with the help and direction from their active open-source community.
