Summary

Infracost is a tool designed to improve cloud cost management by integrating cost-awareness into the engineering workflow, providing real-time cost impact assessments of Infrastructure-as-Code changes before they are merged. This proactive approach, coined as "Shift FinOps Left," allows engineers to avoid unnecessary expenses and reduce technical debt by making cost-efficient decisions during the development process. Infracost recently secured $15 million in Series A funding led by Pruven Capital, with support from several notable investors, and has been adopted by over 3,500 companies, including 10% of the Fortune 500. The platform tracks over four million prices across major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, offering features like Issue Explorer, AutoFix, and Campaigns to promote efficient cloud spending. The company emphasizes its commitment to customer partnership and aims to drive the FinOps revolution further by hiring across various roles and continually enhancing its product offerings.
