Unbeatable GKE automation, but needs deeper cost visibility
What do you like best about the product?
The reliability of the node scaling continues to be a highlight; we have zero anxiety about node recreation even during high-traffic events. The 'set it and forget it' nature of the infra management is still the strongest selling point. Stability has been rock solid over the last year.
What do you dislike about the product?
I still find the cost reporting to be the weak point compared to the GKE/GCP console. I need better visibility into specific node template costs and a clearer breakdown of infrastructure prices. Currently, reconciling Cast AI's reported figures with our actual GCP billing lacks the necessary granularity. We need more transparency on the total amounts for specific node groups to fully trust the cost data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have an issue to handle the nodes before using cast, with cast when we need more pods they handle everything.
