About Infracost
Infracost estimates how much your cloud infrastructure will cost before you deploy it. It reads infrastructure-as-code files and posts cost changes where reviewers can see them.
What it does
Infracost reads Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK and Azure ARM files and calculates the expected monthly cost. It adds the cost difference to pull requests, so reviewers can see how a change affects spend before it merges. It also runs cost guardrails and policy checks inside CI and CD pipelines, which helps catch waste early rather than after the bill arrives.
Key features

Who it's for
