    Cloud cost estimates for Terraform in pull requests💰📉 Shift FinOps Left!

    Great question, and it's something we get asked a lot. We have an open PR on our main CLI repo to add Pulumi support (https://github.com/infracost/infracost/pull/1752). This still has some way to go and is currently just using a Pulumi preview file. To get to full editor support, we'd need to be able to read raw Pulumi configuration in all the different languages and flavours it comes in. It's definitely on our radar, but it's not "simple" addition. I'd recommend following our Pulumi issue (https://github.com/infracost/infracost/issues/187) for updates on feature support.

    Please note this is an early release of the VSCode extension, so there will likely be bugs. If you get stuck, please raise an issue ([https://github.com/infracost/vscode-infracost/issues](https://github.com/infracost/vscode-infracost/issues)), and we'll help you out asap.

    We’d love to get your feedback on this extension, mainly what you think it’s missing and would help your workflow. Head over to the GitHub repo ([https://github.com/infracost/vscode-infracost](https://github.com/infracost/vscode-infracost)) for more information and installation instructions.

    Terraform Pull Request Automation

    Been using this for what seems like a year now as part of our review process using Atlantis (https://www.runatlantis.io) and it has been a welcome addition to have a cost report for every change.

    We don’t have strict rules around this but it would be easy to add some policy checking to block any change that is surprisingly expensive.
