Infracost Cloud has introduced a new FinOps policies capability, enabling developers to check for financial operations best practices directly within engineering workflows before deploying infrastructure code. This feature aims to enhance developer productivity and efficiency by providing immediate feedback, thus encouraging the writing of cost-effective code from the start and reducing the need for post-deployment adjustments that can incur additional costs and downtime. The tool integrates seamlessly with engineering workflows by evaluating code changes through pull requests, ensuring adherence to cost-saving practices without requiring engineers to manually sift through extensive documentation. This advancement not only alleviates the burden on FinOps teams, who traditionally had to enforce best practices manually, but also significantly reduces cloud expenditure by optimizing resource usage. Testimonials from Infracost customers highlight the time-saving benefits and improved focus on delivering business value, as engineers receive targeted recommendations and cost estimates that help them make informed decisions early in the development process. The new feature supports 40 different FinOps policies across major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, offering users a clear view of their adherence to financial best practices, alongside guidance on necessary code modifications.
