New FinOps consumption reports

With Scalingo, it's easy to start and stop resources or dynamically autoscale your application based on the load. It's also easy to optimize your needs in temporary environments, thanks to the ephemeral deployments of Review Apps. These functions, designed for a technically-savvy audience, are the strength and fame of our platform.

However, estimating the consumption and cost of using these resources can be a difficult task. This problem arises both during the month, and when you want to measure the impact of a change in architecture, or explore your consumption data from previous months.

We understand this challenge, and are delighted to present you a new dashboard enabling you to implement a FinOps approach for your Scalingo infrastructure!

A contraction of Finance and Operations, FinOps is a governance model that focuses on the financial and operational management of your cloud resources. According to Flexera and its report "2023 State of the Cloud Report", 82% of companies using cloud services consider that managing their expenses represents the biggest challenge.

With the spread of pay-per-use and the use of elastic resources, this model is becoming unavoidable. The aim of these practices is to optimize costs, improve spending transparency and align investments with the company's strategic goals.
