    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 cos…

    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…

    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 engine…

    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…

    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 ha…
