principle-cost-awareness

What problem does it solve?

Prevents cost bugs by teaching design-time discipline so cloud bills stay aligned with budget, not reactive after-the-fact cost cutting.

Core Features & Use Cases

• FinOps-minded requirements: Establishes cost budgets as first-class acceptance criteria and assigns cost ownership early.
• Data movement economics: Guides egress-aware topology, replication strategy, and payload sizing to avoid non-linear billing surprises.
• Right-sizing and storage/log cost control: Helps choose scalable capacity strategies, storage tiers, and observability practices that control retention and cardinality.

Quick Start

Apply the cost budgets, egress/topology, and storage/log tier guidance from principle-cost-awareness while designing a service that must meet latency targets without exceeding a monthly spend cap.
