Summary

A recent blog post discusses the integration of cloud cost estimates into DevOps workflows through pull requests, drawing an analogy to the "Prius Effect" where immediate feedback can lead to more efficient behavior. The challenge addressed is the difficulty for team leads and managers to monitor cost changes across multiple engineers or teams, as they cannot review every pull request. To tackle this, Infracost has introduced a new "infracost report" command that compiles cost data from multiple Infracost JSON files into a comprehensive table or HTML report, which can be shared with management via AWS S3. This solution aims to provide a clear overview of cost changes, and the author encourages feedback to improve the tool, inviting users to engage through various communication channels.
