Hi HN, author here. I'm looking for feedback from devs/devops engineers on the tool in general as well as:

1. What is your biggest pain point with cloud costs?

2. Any ideas on how to handle non-baseline costs? - data transfer costs and other usage-based costs are often a significant portion of the bill and are also the hardest to predict and track down.

Variable costs have to be learnt from historical data. Maybe u can do something neat with resource tagging
