The landing page is gorgeous. Re the service: IDK, on the one side it's amazing, on the other hand, key to significant cost savings is to use Google and AWS only for must-have services, otherwise avoid them as much as possible and deploy the rest on self-managed k8s-clusters on vps farms. Latter might not work for huge deployments like Fortnite's server park but creates a very competitive performance-to-cost-ratio for small to medium deployments.[1] Not sure how this would fit in your design but just my two cents.

Also, once you fully locked-in yourself into a cloud provider real cost-savings get harder and harder. If your tool is just about forecasting for finance and controlling then it's sufficient.

[1] If your business model is so good (like Fortnite's) you shouldn't obsess about cloud costs, going all-in with AWS and Google might be the better choice.

Thanks, running on self managed clusters or bare metal can save costs in some circumstances, but comes with trade-offs and overheads as well. In our previous company we were managing Kubernetes on bare-metal and what we found was every team started using more and more resources until we ended up with a sprawl of over-provisioned and under-utilized services. We want to support this use case as well by allowing price books to be set up for custom environments so each developer can see a "cost" for these cases as well.

This can happen but already for medium deployments the costs are so much lower that you can hire a bunch of devops managing a proper centralized RBAC-based k8s cluster which isn't over-provisioned nor under-utilized. And even if, it should be still significantly cheaper than anything from Google and AWS. But again, if a company runs a strong-margin business model cloud cost optimizations are the wrong thing to think about. Whatever, your solution is definitely a big step in the right direction.
