My main use case for Infracost is tracking and analyzing the cost impact of infrastructure changes before they are actually provisioned. This manages the entire multi-cloud infrastructure that we are setting up with Terraform, and we integrate Infracost into our CI/CD. Every time a person opens a pull request, we can see the finance changes related to this pull request in terms of the infrastructure setup required.

I can give you a specific example of how this works in my workflow: there were cases when people submitted some EC2 instance change, such as increasing it when there was no real need, and just due to checking costs via Infracost and our CI/CD, we were able to identify that we do not actually need it.

The best features Infracost offers include shift-left visibility, so we see the impact before it actually happens, and we do not manually consult with cloud pricing each time, and we do not guess. We have precise information instead. It pulls the pricing difference and drops it in the code review interface.

Having that precise information in the code review interface makes us question the changes.

Infracost has positively impacted my organization by enhancing our engineering team's cost consciousness. We no longer treat the FinOps operations as something that we do at the end of the month. We do this regularly and this changes a lot for us, so this is super important.

I would appreciate some improvements in terms of processing speed, and I would be happy to see a slightly better user interface from my perspective, but everything else is excellent.

I have been using Infracost for around two years.

Infracost is stable.

Infracost's scalability is great.

The customer support is great.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is straightforward and excellent.

I have seen a return on investment through money saved.

The customer support is great.

My advice to others looking into using Infracost is to try it, as it is a really great technology. I would rate this review at eight out of ten.

My main use case for Infracost is checking the cost impact as my infrastructure would be increasing if I add a particular element. I use Terraform for managing my infrastructure, and whenever I make changes to that code structure, Infracost helps me understand what the increase in cost or impact on cost would be.

A specific example of when I used Infracost with Terraform to check the cost impact of a change was recently when I added a service hosted on EC2 servers along with load balancers and other AWS architecture. After adding it to my Terraform codebase, Infracost helped me identify the cost increase.

The best features Infracost offers include the fact that the increase in cost is directly provided by the tool, and I do not have to manually calculate what all costs would increase when adding a service or making a particular change to my Terraform code.

The way Infracost calculates and displays the cost impact helps me in my day-to-day work because, as a DevOps engineer, I work extensively with automations and building infrastructure through them. Infracost helps me identify and analyze the cost increase from adding particular infrastructure.

Infracost has positively impacted my organization by helping me reduce my infrastructure cost and review expenses, and I am able to remove all unnecessary infrastructure. I was able to save around $500.

Infracost could be improved in terms of processing and the user interface, as there are times that these aspects could be enhanced.

I have been using Infracost for a while now.

Infracost is stable.

Infracost's scalability is good; however, I have not explored much about it, so I cannot provide exact details.

The customer support is adequate.

Negative

I have seen a return on investment, as I have saved money.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been great.

My advice to others looking into using Infracost is that this is a great tool and it can help with pricing decisions about AWS infrastructure or any other infrastructure that can be managed by infrastructure as code. I would rate this product a seven out of ten.
