Thanks - indeed, it's also difficult to estimate how much the agents will cost in advance, and how much changes could reduce or increase costs.

yep, the ROI for cloud and AI spend tools is fairly easy to measure: it has to save multiples of what it costs.

We prevent way more than that from being added to the cloud bill by showing engineers cost estimates that enables them to make better decisions pre-deploy - e.g. when an engineer k…

CI/CD pipelines needs 1 CLI run per commit (like any other code scanning tool), we regularly see enterprises with 100K+ runs/month.

OpenRouter is great for keeping your LLM API bill down, Infracost is about the AWS/Azure/GCP bill your IaC creates. When an agent writes IaC that creates a NAT gateway or an RDS in…

We launched Infracost on HN five years ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26064588 ) where our CLI generated cost estimates for infra-as-code, e.g. "this Terraform PR adds …

co-founder of Infracost here, we launched Infracost on HN five years ago, when the CLI just generated cost estimates for Terraform. Earlier this year we were scoping a 1.0 release:…

and the vast majority of times you don't need those 2 recommendations in non-prod envs... Infracost only makes recommendations if they reduce your costs, not increase them.

We started out with the Infracost CLI showing engineers cost estimates in the terminal before they deployed their code. The learning was that it also makes sense to check for other…

Thanks! Yep, we're partners with HashiCorp and worked on that integration early on :)

I suppose the difference between flaky tests and typos in tags/missing tags is that the latter is less about flaky-ness, and more about the engineer deciding not to fix the tagging…

Interesting idea! The pull request authors are shown out of the box but we hadn't thought of using git to find the user for each resource on the main branch. Most organizations end…

Great point - indeed FinOps teams consistently rank "empowering engineers to take action" as their number 1 challenge ( https://data.finops.org ) - and by that they mean the human …
