Frequently asked questions
CloudBurn is a tool designed for teams using Terraform or AWS CDK that helps prevent costly infrastructure mistakes before they reach production. It analyzes infrastructure changes during code review by providing real-time AWS pricing, allowing teams to see the potential costs associated with their changes. This proactive approach enables developers to discuss and adjust costs before deployment, ensuring more efficient and cost-effective infrastructure management.
When a developer opens a pull request with infrastructure changes, CloudBurn automatically analyzes these changes using real-time AWS pricing. It generates a cost report that details the expected monthly costs for each change, allowing the team to review and discuss these costs during the code review process.
The benefits of using CloudBurn include automatic cost analysis on every infrastructure pull request, real-time AWS pricing tailored to your specific region, and a resource-level breakdown that shows the old versus new monthly costs. This helps teams catch costly decisions early in the development process, making it easier to optimize infrastructure before deployment.
