When we started, we thought everyone could use it from startups to medium sized companies. What we learnt is that the most value comes for the enterprises. The reason is they have used Terraform to decentralize the infra provisioning, so no

Do you think that only applies to Carbon, or with Cloud Costs too?

I'll go one step further - Ali (my brother and founder), has a PhD in cloud cost modelling! 9 million live prices across AWS, Azure and GCP is pretty insane.

hahaha we could also track if you typed too fast! ... actually, this is an actual idea, if you use AI to generate the code ... hmmm; that would then be a fun project vs a cloud cost saving one

haha ahh I think it goes in waves in the US, but you got me - I grew up in Scotland, and recently moved to the US full time. So the EU mindset is still here :)

I appreciate the love. Yea, that was the cool thing during the research - if we reduce from a large to a medium, it both saves money and reduces carbon. Win - Win! Company can save money at the same time as reducing the environmental impact

Yea, I actually saw something similar in the early days of Infracost, when we didn't track that many price points. The % change and the directionality was really helpful for engineers. Then we iterated on the prices, added more coverag

That's a great question - it is a hard thing to build for sure. We started talking to the CTO office of Google about it, and exactly as you say, it gets into the details. The folks at Greenpixie have been doing a lot of research on thi

Hi all, Hassan here - one of the founders of Infracost. Infracost sits in Github / GitLab etc, and when an engineer makes a infrastructure code change, we show them how much the code will cost to run on cloud before they merge it. It a

This is good - I just signed up and tried it out. I liked that I could take a picture and draw on the picture to highlight something to the team! It's like loom but for physical work environments like workshops!

hahaha love it - it'll keep evolving, and get more interesting for sure. I just think back to Dev and Ops, and how it went from a culture to a job title; testing was another one.

Hi, I think the key issue with both the Azure policy, and the Amazon services is that they only work after a pull request has been merged. Then the build fails, and the engineer has to come back to their code, make a new Pull Request and th

Vantage is awesome - I've talked with Ben (their CEO) a few times. There are a lot of tools that start from the cloud bills, and give you visibility of everything (Vantage, Cloudability, Cloud Health Tech, Flexera etc) - all of these t

Bingo - so Infracost will tell you before you launch anything how much it'll cost. Now scale that to a few thousand developers across a large company, and it's very impactful. Backfilling tags works, but the issue is if Terraform

Yep, for sure! It's on the roadmap. We are friends with the folks at Pulumi too. Love what they are building, so hopefully we will get some bandwidth and add support. And Cloud Formation too. Azure ARM ... haha there is a lot more to b

Wonder how long until we get our first request to add support for this to infracost https://github.com/infracost/infracost ? At least the price list looks a lot simpler than AWS / Azure / GCP - more like UpCl
