Happy July! We’re excited to share a key insight from the recent FinOpsX conference: FinOps has shifted left 🚀 This approach, which we’ve championed since 2021, integrates cloud costs and best practices into the development workflow before deployment. Our new ebook explains how shifting left saves engineering time and prevents cost overruns—check it out! Improved Pull Request…
Happy June! It’s time for another Infracost update, but before that, we’ve got some exciting news: we’ve got a booth at the FinOpsX conference in San Diego next week. My co-founder (and brother!), Hassan, posted some great pics from last year’s conference, let us know if you/your team is going to be there 🥳 Enterprise Data…
Happy May! As the sun gears up for its annual performance upgrade (it’s still cold in Scotland) and temperatures start to climb, it’s time for another Infracost update – let’s dive in. Usage Costs We’ve redesigned Infracost pull request comments to differentiate Baseline costs and Usage costs: Large enterprises have thousands of code repos, so…
Happy spring equinox! In the past few months, we’ve been heads-down, making major improvements to the Infracost CLI, Infracost Cloud, and our CI/CD integrations to support large enterprises with thousands of code repos and complex workflows. Faster and Deeper Code Parser Infracost is now used by over 3,000 companies 🚀 Large enterprises have repos with…
In 2023, cloud cost complexity kept increasing, and many new cloud cost management tools were launched. We also saw existing players launch new features and capabilities to help their customers reduce cloud costs, improve their cloud budget, and eliminate cloud waste. The cloud providers released new capabilities, AWS Cost Explorer released a whole set of new features…
Launching the new FinOps policy checker Today, we’re very excited to announce a new FinOps policies capability for Infracost Cloud. You can now check for FinOps best practices directly in engineering workflows before infrastructure code has been deployed. This has many benefits: Helping engineers with FinOps Pop quiz: which of the 46 out of the…
We released major improvements to the tagging policies feature to simplify identifying and fixing tagging issues. We also re-designed the Infracost report emails to summarize key changes across your repos. The CLI also got many bug fixes and big performance improvements. Log in to Infracost Cloud or upgrade to CLI version v0.10.29 to use the new features. Tagging policy…
New feature announcement: FinOps tags can now be checked directly in the engineering workflow in CI/CD, before anything goes to production, by shifting them left. Both the key and value can be verified. If the tagging policy has not been followed, the engineer will be notified and the code pull request can be blocked until…
We recently released a new GitLab App that enables you to quickly add Infracost to all of your repos with a few clicks. We also released a new Jira app so product managers and budget owners know the cost impact of a feature request or change, before deployment! There’s also a new version of the…
Last month we made a big push to add more than 100 resources across AWS, Azure and Google. Infracost Guardrails now enable you set thresholds against projects inside pull requests. There’s also a new Viewer role, so you can add engineering teams to the view all cost changes, guardrails, and policies. Log in to Infracost Cloud or…
The all-new Infracost Guardrails now enable you to approve and unblock pull requests (PRs) that were blocked by the budget guardrail. This month’s release includes dynamic and org-level config files, which will help with repos that have multiple Terraform projects (e.g. mono repos or teragrunt repos). We have also added support for more AWS and…
Since launching Infracost two years ago, I’ve been asked about the key differences between the AWS Cost Calculator and Infracost. In this blog post, I will compare the two tools. Update AWS has now deprecated the AWS simple cost calculator – the only other option left is the AWS Pricing calculator. The AWS Cloud Cost Calculator…
