  • Engineers do not work in spreadsheets, nor do they work with accounting software. Most software engineers work day-to-day in version control. Furthermore, the centralized teams managing cloud infrastructure more broadly live in this world as well.

Yes, right where you, the engineer live? This is what Infracost does.
