Thank you! Spot.io falls broadly into the same category as Vantage/Ternary/others, so the same answer as here applies: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39183504 . In a sentence…

Awesome!! We'll send you an email shortly :)

I'm not familiar with Kinesis's sink APIs, but yes I'd imagine you'll have to write your own connector from scratch. To answer your question, though, no: in the Kafka connector, th…

Haha, we've heard many a story like this one over the months! An advisor suggested we offer a sort of "pricing heuristics" deliverable to sales as part of our product (e.g. "if a c…

Thanks! It's on the roadmap :)

TL;DR - We treat the per-customer usage data as the ground truth, and the per-customer cost can vary based on parameters chosen by the Dashdive user and their preferred mental mode…

You're right; it's a bit inaccessible at the moment. We're planning to offer a more affordable tier in the next 1-2 months. A bit more context here: https://news.ycombinator.com/it…

Thanks! Yes, we're working on making the product more accessible. Right now, for every new customer, we have to manually provision and manage some additional infrastructure. We're …

Great point. We could definitely add usage-based pricing (UBP) adjacent features - for example, a Stripe integration and user-defined rules to auto-calculate invoices based on incu…

You can use the usage and cost data Dashdive collects to identify cost spikes or ongoing inefficiencies (e.g. this particular feature is using more vCPU than should be necessary). …

We actually use Kafka rather than Kinesis, although they're very similar. For writing to ClickHouse from Kafka, we use the ClickHouse Kafka sink connector: https://github.com/Click…

Ternary is similar to Vantage in its offering so this answer ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39178753#39181486 ) also applies here. There are quite a few cloud cost tools ou…

Yotascale is in many ways similar to Vantage, so a similar answer to this one ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39178753#39181486 ) applies. When we were originally researchin…

Makes a lot of sense - in my opinion AWS doesn't do the best job with this. We had a similar problem with EKS where even as the root user I couldn't view cluster details ( https://…

The key differentiation from Vantage and other similar products is the level of granularity. Vantage is in the category mentioned above: it combines AWS, GCP, Datadog, Snowflake, e…

This is an interesting point, and we could definitely consider something like this. Where exactly do you run into problems? For example, let's say you've figured out that a particu…

Usage is what we track directly, and then we apply the cloud provider's billing rules for the given service (e.g. S3) to calculate the resulting costs. So utilization rates for som…

Hi, HN. We (Adam, Micah and Ben) are excited to show you Dashdive ( https://www.dashdive.com/ ), which calculates the cloud cost incurred by each user action taken in your product.…
