Summary

Infracost has introduced several updates to enhance cloud cost optimization and FinOps efficiency, including the launch of Issue Explorer, a tool designed to make waste reduction an actionable, team-wide process without the need for extensive meetings or Jira tickets. Issue Explorer empowers engineers by integrating waste-reducing policies directly into CI/CD workflows, allowing them to pinpoint and address issues in their code using best practices from AWS, Azure, and Google Well-Architected Frameworks. The tool effectively tracks improvements in real-time, highlighting significant reductions in issues before code merges and backlog resolutions. Additionally, Infracost has launched an Azure Repos App to facilitate policy enforcement across large enterprises and has re-architected its hosted runners in Golang for faster scanning of massive mono-repositories. The company is also expanding its team and presence, with new hires and upcoming events, such as a webinar on Shifting FinOps Left with Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
