Infracost, an open-source tool, has been recognized by Gartner as a cool vendor in the Platform Engineering space, highlighting its innovative approach to addressing cloud cost management challenges faced by DevOps, SRE, and platform engineers. Traditionally, cloud cost management has been reactive, with engineers often blamed for budget overruns due to a lack of real-time cost visibility akin to shopping without price labels. Infracost acts as a "checkout screen" by providing engineers with immediate cost estimates through a VS Code extension and CI/CD integration, allowing for cost impact assessments alongside code quality and security reviews. This recognition underscores the importance of proactive cost management solutions, and the Infracost team encourages continued community engagement to further enhance the tool's capabilities.
