Shifting Costs Left of Left: Now Announcing Support for All Major IDEs and Coding Agents

Infracost Dev is a local agent designed to integrate seamlessly with various integrated development environments (IDEs) and coding agents to provide real-time cloud cost estimations and policy checks while writing infrastructure as code. This tool extends the capabilities of the previous VS Code extension by supporting a wide range of platforms, including Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, and CDK, and fetching price points from numerous services across AWS, Azure, and GCP. By operating locally, it ensures that code and data remain secure and that users receive immediate feedback without excessive API calls. Infracost Dev works alongside coding agents, offering a consistent rule layer and enabling engineers to focus on cost-effective infrastructure decisions without resorting to manual price lookups. It also supports FinOps practices when paired with Infracost Cloud, which allows for policy checks, custom price books, and cost guardrails, transforming coding agents into FinOps agents that automatically verify infrastructure changes against live policies. The tool is available in a free tier with a setup wizard that simplifies integration across various IDEs and coding environments.
