About Infracost
What is Infracost?
Infracost is a developer tool that shifts FinOps left by integrating cloud cost estimation and governance directly into Infrastructure as Code (IaC) workflows. It helps engineering teams see the cost impact of every change—before deployment—by providing real-time estimates for Terraform, CloudFormation, and CDK projects. Infracost connects with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps) and IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor) to automate cost guardrails and prevent overspending.
Who is Infracost for?
Infracost is built for platform managers, FinOps practitioners, and DevOps engineers who want to reduce cloud waste without slowing down provisioning. It is ideal for organizations using AWS, Azure, or GCP that need to enforce budgets across multiple teams. It is not for teams that do not use IaC or have no need for automated cost checks in CI/CD.
Key features and use cases
Infracost offers out-of-the-box cost guardrails, AI-driven remediation via Autofix workflows, and a dashboard to visualize savings across compute, storage, and logging. Real use cases include catching cost regressions in pull requests, setting budgets per project, and generating audit trails for compliance. The tool also supports custom price books and SKU-level overrides for enterprises.
Key features
- Cost Estimates in PRs — Automatically show the cost impact of infrastructure changes in pull requests for Terraform, CloudFormation, and CDK.
- Cost Guardrails — Enforce budget policies and best practices directly in CI/CD pipelines to prevent overspending before deployment.
- Autofix Workflows — Use AI to identify and remediate existing cloud waste, with one-click fixes for common issues.
- Visibility Dashboards — Track cloud spending trends, savings per engineer, and resource optimization across accounts and business units.
- Multi-Cloud & IaC Support — Works with AWS, Azure, GCP, and integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, plus IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains.
- Issue Explorer — Centralized view of cost violations and optimization opportunities, with audit trails for tracking changes.
