Summary

In 2023, Infracost enhanced its capabilities to help companies optimize cloud costs, particularly by integrating features into CI/CD workflows. These improvements include the introduction of Guardrails, which monitor pull requests and trigger actions when budget thresholds are exceeded, showcasing cost savings prevented from being added to cloud bills. Infracost also became faster by running only on changed directories, caching modules, and processing projects in parallel, significantly improving the speed of CI/CD builds. Enhanced support for Terragrunt, the introduction of single sign-on capabilities, and various bug fixes and improvements for cloud resources across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud further solidify Infracost's utility. A new YouTube demo illustrates how Infracost Cloud builds on the open-source tool to provide dashboards, guardrails, and centralized cost policies to help teams save money.
