What is CloudBurn?

CloudBurn is a tool that estimates infrastructure costs directly within your code review process. Instead of discovering expensive cloud resource configurations after deployment, CloudBurn analyses your infrastructure code and shows you the cost implications before changes merge. It integrates into your development workflow to catch costly mistakes early, making it particularly useful for teams using cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. The tool aims to shift cost awareness left in the development pipeline, helping engineering teams make informed decisions about resource allocation without waiting for monthly bills.
