Infracost FinOps Governance Platform

Infracost Inc. was founded in 2021 by Hassan Khajeh-Hosseini, Ali Khajeh-Hosseini and Alistair Scott, and lists its address in San Francisco, with a UK entity in London. It addresses cloud waste and budget overruns that are usually discovered only after infrastructure is deployed, by bringing cost checks into the engineering workflow, an approach the company calls shifting FinOps left.

The platform reads infrastructure-as-code from Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS CDK, Azure ARM and Kubernetes, prices changes against more than 4 million AWS, Azure and Google Cloud prices, and posts estimates in pull requests and IDEs. FinOps policies, tagging rules, cost guardrails and budgets run in CI/CD on GitHub, GitLab and Azure DevOps, while Autofix workflows and campaigns open pull requests to fix existing waste. The Cruise suite adds agent toolkits for coding assistants. The company reports more than 3,500 companies as users, including 10% of the Fortune 500.

• Pull request cost estimates: Shows the cost impact of Terraform, CloudFormation and CDK changes before merge.
• FinOps policies: Applies Well-Architected best practices and tagging rules in CI/CD and IDEs.
• Cost guardrails and budgets: Flags or blocks changes that exceed set thresholds.
• Autofix and campaigns: Open pull requests to remediate existing cloud waste at scale.
• Custom price books: Apply negotiated prices and SKU-level overrides to estimates.
• Infracost Cruise: Agent toolkits bring cost context into coding assistants such as Claude, Copilot and Cursor.

A Vietnamese bank's platform team using Terraform can enforce tagging and cost guardrails on every pull request. A software outsourcing company can show clients the cost of infrastructure changes before deployment. A startup can let AI coding agents check prices before provisioning resources.

Engineers see the cost impact of a change before merging, so expensive mistakes are caught when fixes take one line. The site claims USD 3.5 billion saved and USD 4,179 in annual savings per engineer. Estée Lauder's case study describes automatic cost and policy checks for around 400 engineers with a single dedicated FinOps person. A free CI/CD plan with 1,000 runs per month lets teams start at no cost.

Infrastructure-as-code and AI coding agents are increasing the speed at which cloud resources are created, so FinOps practice is moving earlier into the development lifecycle. Engineering teams in Vietnam and Southeast Asia that manage AWS, Azure or Google Cloud through Terraform can use pre-deployment checks to keep budgets under control.
