Shift FinOps Left
Enable engineers to proactively find and fix cloud cost issues
Infracost shifts cloud costs left and transforms FinOps from reactive to proactive. It sits in the engineering workflow (e.g. GitHub, Azure Repos) and shows the cost impact of code changes before deployment — preventing expensive mistakes.
For FinOps Teams: Cost Prevention & Governance at Scale
Stop chasing cloud bills after the money is spent. Infracost enables proactive FinOps by embedding cost visibility and governance directly into engineering workflows before resources are deployed.
Pre-Deployment Visibility
Engineers see the cost impact of their changes and can make better decisions before shipping their code.
Cost Guardrails
Proactive alerts prevent budget overruns before deployment, keeping cloud bills predictable and ensuring cost control from the start.
Automated Policy Enforcement
Infracost enforces your FinOps best practices across all engineering teams, so you can scale FinOps standards without constant intervention.
For Engineering Teams: Time Savings & Streamlined Workflows
Transform how your engineers handle cloud cost optimization — from hours of post-deployment remediation to seconds of prevention during code review.
Prevent New Issues
Addressing issues during code review takes seconds versus hours of remediation in production — making developers more productive while enforcing best practices.
Streamlined Remediation
Infracost AutoFix generates pull requests directly in GitHub, eliminating coordination overhead. Engineers can review and deploy fixes without leaving their familiar workflow.
Immediate Feedback
Cost increases, policy violations, and tagging issues are caught instantly in pull requests with direct links to fix them.
How It Works
1. Integrate with your engineering workflow
Connect Infracost to GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps repos. No cloud provider credentials required — start optimizing immediately, directly in the code.
2. Scan your current codebase for optimization opportunities
Infracost will automatically scan your current codebase, and show code optimizations that can be made right now, as well as tagging issues (capitalizations, typos, or missing tags in the key and the value).
3. Get cost impact before deployment
Every time engineers make infrastructure code changes, Infracost automatically posts a nreview comment showing:
- Monthly cost estimates and breakdowns of the change
- FinOps policy violations with fix recommendations
- Missing or incorrect tags with suggested values
4. Prevent issues before they hit production
Engineers can fix cost, policy, and tagging issues in seconds during code review, preventing expensive mistakes and hours of rework later.

I love this code quality metric:
»infracost GitHub action […] automatically adds a pull request comment showing the cost estimate diff«

Thank you very much to @infracost team who implemented an awesome terragrunt report from feedbacks in Github. 🙂

Just discovered Infracost repo. Shows hourly and monthly cost estimates for a Terraform project. Can also be used to automatically add a PR comment showing the cost estimate diff 😍
Key Features
Pre-Deploy Cost Insights in Code
Infracost integrates into engineering workflows like GitHub and Azure DevOps to show the cost impact of code changes before deployment — helping teams plan and estimate costs early in the development cycle.
Enterprise-Wide FinOps Governance
Infracost enables FinOps governance at enterprise scale by automatically checking all code changes against our comprehensive library of best practices during code review (e.g. rightsizing, use Graviton, etc.). Teams can also define custom policies to address unique requirements.
Drive Results with Campaigns
Use Campaigns to prioritize policies each quarter. Infracost AutoFix turns those goals into engineering actions at scale by opening pull requests with code fixes engineers can review, customize, and deploy within their workflows — no Jira tickets or meetings.
Proactive Budget Management
Pre-deployment budget verification prevents cost surprises by validating code changes against established thresholds before deployment. Automated approval workflows engage stakeholders when necessary, with full support for enterprise pricing agreements and custom rate cards.
Frictionless Rightsizing Implementation
Infracost fetches AWS Compute Optimizer recommendations and opens pull requests so engineers can take action directly in their workflow. Engineers can implement or provide feedback on pull requests, creating a collaborative feedback loop between FinOps and engineering teams.
Enforce 100% Tag Governance
Infracost enforces tagging policies like required FinOps tags, and on/off VM scheduler tags. Identify non-compliant resources with precise code locations and prevent deployment of resources that don’t meet tagging standards.
