Congratulations on the growth, Infracost team.
I felt using Terraform PR to estimate costs via Github bot is very smart. I've added Infracost to my curated list of startup tools at StartupToolchain[1].
Tangentially, I would like to pick your brain on some related need-gaps if you don't mind;
1. Once during a conversation with GCP sales team(Initiated by them), I sent them a monthly AWS bill (~$ 1000) and asked them to revert back with equivalent services of GCP for each AWS service I'm using with their pricing. I never heard from them again. This seems like an obvious question for someone to migrate from one cloud infrastructure to another; Do you think there is a need for cost-estimate calculators for migrations which can take in my current bill and spit out estimated bill of another IaaS?
2. Are are there any cost-estimate calculators for calculating the cost for AWS after the free-12 months?[2]

- akh 5y agoThanks! 1. I suspect there might be the need for migration calculators but for smaller bills, the cost of the actual migration might be more than the cloud bill savings. For larger bills, it'll depend on the discounts and custom prices the vendors are offering them. 2. If I remember correctly, AWS Cost Explorer has a filter to remove the free tier usage, or maybe that's the credits? That might help to see what the costs will be.
