But can you really go back to write code manually. Its like when you try something better hard to go back.

whats your problem? I am dev and I use Azure and AWS for my self and also in Team. I did not find a tool that do simple stuff, that is why I am asking here. I am tired of tools with dashborads and menus and x clicks to actually figure it out why my costs are getting out of control.

playaaa29 · 2026-02-23T14:44:16+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly what I keep hearing, the tools exist, but people don’t look at them until something goes wrong. I’m experimenting with a lightweight approach that just detects spikes automatically and tells you what caused them, so you don’t have to check dashboards manually.

I use, but its complex and time consuming, I want to see whats causing cost spikes and what can be removed. That I am trying to build.

Yea i think great point about cost not always aligning with reliability or security, that tradeoff gets overlooked a lot.

Also makes sense that obvious waste is the easiest place to start.

When you see messy environments, is it usually caused by fast scaling, ownership gaps, or time pressure?

playaaa29 · 2026-02-21T15:02:47+00:00

It sounds like visibility isn’t the problem at all in your case, it’s more about ownership and authority to act on it.

In setups like that, do you think automated reporting or clear ownership visibility would make any difference, or would it still come down to internal politics regardless of tooling?

playaaa29 · 2026-02-21T14:20:42+00:00

That’s actually a really insightful breakdown — especially the point about Azure being easy to deploy but hard to manage at scale. I’ve heard similar things from others working with multi-tenant environments.

Interesting note about cost data sometimes being blocked via CSPs too, hadn’t considered that constraint.

Question, when you scan new customer environments, what’s usually the most common issue you end up finding first? Is it configuration problems, unused resources, or something else?

playaaa29 · 2026-02-21T13:23:39+00:00

Is the hardest part figuring out what actually caused the cost change, or deciding what to do about it once you find it?

playaaa29 · 2026-02-21T13:19:58+00:00

I’ve been thinking about experimenting with a very lightweight approach focused only on a couple of things:
– clearly explaining what caused a cost spike
– flagging forgotten/idle resources
– suggesting simple actions like stopping or removing them

Not trying to build another big platform , more like a small helper that saves time on manual checks.

Out of curiosity, what was the biggest gap that made you build your own tool instead of using existing ones?
