For Engineering Teams

Responsible spending up front.

Know the cost of what you build before you build it. Give engineers visibility into service costs, team budgets, and the impact of architectural decisions.

The Challenge

Engineers don't see cost data

Your engineers make dozens of infrastructure decisions every week. Instance sizes. Database configurations. Cache layer choices. Each decision has cost implications they can't see.

Cloud consoles are designed for operations, not cost awareness. By the time finance reviews the bill, the architecture is set. Optimization becomes retrofitting rather than good design.

Reduce brings cost data directly to engineers. See service costs in context. Understand the price tag of architectural choices. Make informed decisions before code ships.

Shift Left

Cost checks before deploy

You wouldn't deploy code without running tests. Why deploy infrastructure without understanding the cost? By the time you see the bill, it's too late.

Reduce integrates with your CI/CD pipeline. Before infrastructure changes ship, see the estimated cost impact. Catch expensive changes early, when they're easy to modify.

Set guardrails. Flag changes that exceed thresholds. Require approval for high-impact deployments. Build cost awareness into your engineering culture.

Capabilities

Built for engineering workflows

Everything engineers need to build cost-effectively

Service Visibility

See costs by service, not by cloud resource. Understand what your microservices actually cost to run.

Resource Mapping

Automatically map cloud resources to services and teams. No manual tagging required.

Cost Guardrails

Set limits on cost impact per deployment. Get notified when changes exceed thresholds.

Team Dashboards

Give each team a view of their own costs. Foster ownership and accountability for infrastructure spend.

Developer Experience

Fits into how you work

1

API Access

Query cost data programmatically. Build cost checks into your own tooling and workflows.

2

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins — Reduce integrates with your existing pipeline.

3

Slack Alerts

Get notified in Slack when your services hit cost thresholds or anomalies are detected.

Common Scenarios

How engineering teams use Reduce

Architecture Reviews

Include cost projections in design reviews. Compare the cost implications of different architectural approaches before committing to a direction.

Sprint Planning

Factor infrastructure costs into capacity planning. Know how much headroom you have before the next budget review.

Post-Incident Review

After an incident, understand the cost impact alongside availability metrics. Did that auto-scaling event spike costs?

Team Retrospectives

Review cost trends as part of team health metrics. Celebrate efficiency wins. Identify areas for optimization.
