Cloud cost alerts are too late: trigger notifications before launching

Cloud providers offer budget alerts to help users manage their spending, especially with usage-based resources that can incur significant costs. Beyond these alerts, companies are advised to identify significant cost changes to their infrastructure before deployment, such as estimating the cost impact of increasing RAM for a Lambda function. Infracost is an open-source tool designed for integration into CI/CD pipelines, providing comments on the cost implications of changes to infrastructure-as-code. It can flag significant cost changes, allowing users to set a threshold for when comments should be made, helping enterprises become more aware of cloud spending and potentially reducing cloud waste. Feedback and community engagement are encouraged through platforms such as GitHub, Slack, and Twitter.
