CloudBurn

CloudBurn is an innovative solution designed for teams using Terraform or AWS CDK who want to avoid costly infrastructure mistakes before they reach the production stage. Often, teams find themselves facing unpleasant surprises on their AWS bills weeks after deploying changes, by which time the infrastructure is already in place, and money has been spent. CloudBurn disrupts this cycle by providing real-time cost estimates during the code review process. When a developer opens a pull request with infrastructure modifications, CloudBurn automatically analyzes these changes using current AWS pricing data. This allows teams to see a detailed cost report right in their pull request, enabling informed discussions about costs before deployment. With CloudBurn, teams can catch expensive decisions early, ensuring that budget overruns are avoided and financial efficiency is maintained throughout the development lifecycle.
