- For
- Dev agencies and small MSPs running AWS without a FinOps specialist
- Worth noticing
- The read-only scanner covers more than 25 resource types across enabled regions and accounts.
Field notes
Findings are described as typed records containing the resource, cost, evidence, and owner. The scanner combines AWS Cost Optimization Hub and Compute Optimizer recommendations and removes duplicates; hosted amounts use regional list prices, while the self-hosted application is described as using billed costs from a Cost and Usage Report. The homepage distinguishes the two deployment paths and says the sample pull-request workflow has not yet been exercised on a real repository.
