Infracost

Infracost is a FinOps tool that integrates directly into engineering workflows (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps) to provide pre-deployment cloud cost visibility. It allows engineers to see the cost impact of their infrastructure-as-code changes before they are deployed, preventing expensive mistakes and enabling proactive cost optimization. The tool automatically posts review comments with monthly cost estimates, FinOps policy violations, and tagging issues, along with fix recommendations. Infracost is designed for both FinOps and engineering teams. For FinOps, it offers cost prevention and governance at scale through pre-deployment visibility, cost guardrails, and automated policy enforcement. For engineering teams, it streamlines workflows by allowing them to address cost, policy, and tagging issues during code review, saving significant time compared to post-deployment remediation. Features like Infracost AutoFix can even generate pull requests with code fixes, further reducing coordination overhead and making developers more productive while enforcing best practices. Key capabilities include enterprise-wide FinOps governance with a library of best practices and custom policy definitions, proactive budget management with pre-deployment verification and automated approval workflows, and the ability to drive results with 'Campaigns' that prioritize policies and generate actionable fixes via pull requests. It supports various cloud providers and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform.
