About Frugal

Frugal is an intelligent application cost engineering platform that automatically optimizes application code to reduce cloud costs. It works by connecting source code, cloud billing data, and observability data to precisely attribute cloud spend to the specific code, services, and features driving it. This allows Frugal to identify cost traps, such as inefficient queries, chatty APIs, verbose logging, or suboptimal model choices, and then generate merge-ready fixes with quantified savings. Frugal is designed for developers and engineering teams looking to embed cost efficiency directly into their development lifecycle without sacrificing speed. It integrates into the software development process by reviewing new code changes for cost impact, providing in-context guidance within IDEs, GitHub, and AI coding agents. This ensures that cost-efficient practices are adopted from the outset, preventing costly issues from escalating. Frugal supports all coding languages across major cloud providers like AWS, GCP, Azure, and various third-party platforms, optimizing a wide range of managed services including databases, serverless functions, AI services, storage, and messaging.
