Cloud Cost Analyzer

A developer-first, read-only, safety-first cloud cost analyzer that scans cloud infrastructure (AWS and Azure, with GCP planned) for waste such as over- or suboptimally provisioned databases, idle resources, forgotten EBS snapshots, outdated/previous-gen instance types, and vestigial networking. Its primary mode of operation is a Rust CLI that developers can run on their workstation or in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc., producing an actionable report/test to control costs while maintaining performance, without exposing credentials or access tokens.

Last shared For A developer-first tool: developers run the Rust CLI themselves on their workstation or CI pipeline.

What it addresses

Cloud accounts contain waste — over/suboptimally provisioned databases, idle resources, forgotten EBS snapshots, outdated/previous-gen instance types, and vestigial networking leading nowhere.
