Hey team,
Congrats on building something great. I've dealt with teams in the past that got very strict with cloud costs, and I wish I had a tool like infracost when I was on those teams. In fact, I started building an MVP for a very similar tool before I heard about infracost.
How difficult was it to build your pricing pipeline in the beginning? When I was building my tool, just getting and organizing the cloud prices from the major cloud providers was the biggest hurdle that prevented me from moving forward. I can't imagine what it was like for your team to build the MVP. It's unbelievable how opaque these providers make a lot of their pricing.
Thanks again for building such a useful tool!
- akh 5y agoThanks! Cloud pricing is messy for sure. This blog describes the Cloud Pricing API: https://www.infracost.io/blog/cloud-pricing-api/ https://www.infracost.io/blog/cloud-pricing-api/ it's the 3rd one our team has built in the last 10 years. The Infracost CLI uses the GraphQL API from this service to retrieve prices.
