Infracost, an open-source tool, now offers a Jira integration that allows engineers to show the cloud cost impact of feature requests directly within the workflow before features are deployed to production. By integrating with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) systems, Infracost provides cost estimates for infrastructure code changes, enabling teams to make informed decisions about whether to proceed with, modify, or budget for new features based on their cost implications. This proactive approach involves displaying cost estimates in Jira under relevant issues, allowing product managers and owners to understand the financial impact of requested features. The integration offers a bidirectional connection, facilitating visibility of cost estimates in both Jira and Infracost Cloud, thereby supporting more accurate budgeting and planning in the development process.
