We released Infracost v0.9.9 recently, you can upgrade to use these features. Fetch usage from CloudWatch When it comes to estimates for resources where the cost fully depends on usage (e.g. AWS S3 or Lambda), we have a usage file, in which users can define how much of those resources they will use. This requires you to manually…
We released Infracost v0.9.7 recently, you can upgrade to use these features. Currency conversion You can now use infracost configure set currency to set your preferred currency (e.g. EUR, BRL or INR). Any ISO 4217 currency code should work, for example use XAG to see how much Silver you’re spending on the cloud 😂 The environment variable INFRACOST_CURRENCY can be used to set…
The Cloud Pricing API is an GraphQL-based API that includes all public prices from AWS, Azure and Google; it contains over 3 million prices! The prices are automatically updated via a weekly job. We needed a multi-cloud pricing API that we could use to explore pricing data structures (e.g. what are the various price components for AWS EC2) and…

I sat down with David Julia, who is the Head of Engineering at Eagle.io to talk about cost attribution, why it matters, who should care and how Eagle.io achieves this. We worked through their use-case, their tech stack, the tools they use, what worked and what did not work, and ultimately how they have achieved cloud cost attribution….
As Infracost has hit 3,000 GitHub stars 🎉, I wanted to share some thoughts as to why GitHub stars matter. Why do people star repos? There are two main reasons why people star GitHub projects: The latter is why I personally star projects. Regardless of whether I’ve used the project in the past, using it…

Recently we released a new infracost diff command inspired by git diff. This shows a diff of monthly cloud cost estimates between the current and planned state of Terraform projects. At a high-level this might seems like a simple exercise of subtracting the current state’s cost estimate from the planned state, but cloud costs are rarely that simple to deal…
Here’s what we released in February – big thanks to the community contributors! You can upgrade to the latest version (v0.7.20) to pickup these goodies: 🚀 Speed improvements The CLI now only runs terraform init if required since Terraform commands aren’t the fastest in the world (init usually takes 20+ secs for me, but it depends on how many…
