Tim - AWS cost management for busy developers

We use Taloflow at Later. I thought we ran a tight ship in regards to AWS costs but Taloflow found $3k a month in waste the first day 😳 We’re definitely on this product’s hype train and look forward to its further development.

Hey ProductHunt 👋 I’m Jason, Co-Founder & Head of Product at Taloflow. 🤔Problem: From running our own startups or developer teams in the past we’ve experienced first-hand the pain of managing cloud budgets. We’ve tried various tools including native Amazon, Google, and Azure products and other third party tools but have found them to be inadequate or overcomplicated. None of them are truly “real-time”, they’re reactive not proactive, and they don’t tie in key metrics development or product teams care about. 💡Solution: Tim is a DevOps product that helps technical teams drastically reduce their cloud management overhead. Tim cuts down your MTTR on cost incidents, and encourages better release planning and more efficient cloud architecture. Key features: - Cost monitoring and forecasting that is as real-time as your infrastructure. - Advanced anomaly detection and trend analysis performed with machine learning. - Root cause analysis that examines infrastructure/business events and deployments. Tim reads your cost reports, analyzes infrastructure metrics and events, and forecasts your usage and spend in real-time. We provide cost and metrics data as a streaming dataflow and provide integrations with tools like Grafana, Google Sheets, and Slack so you can manage this dataflow in tools your team is already familiar with. 💪Customers: We’ve been working with cloud-native teams such as Segment, Adstage, Later, and more - who are managing their bill 10 faster than other tools and finding unique insights about their cloud footprint. We’re also completely free for indie makers and developers up to 5K a month in spend!

Smart idea. I'm curious how much companies overspend on AWS (and other cloud services) due to inefficiencies like this. 🤔

I think I'm not alone when I experience AWS billing anomalies. Either we're billed a reoccurring cost we can't somehow end or our bill shocks us that month out of nowhere. Tim from Taloflow seems like an interesting tool and a no brainer if you're confused about your AWS bill or looking to streamline your infrastructure and reduce costs from insights and alerts.

Wow! Nice work, Jason, Louis-Victor and team 🔥

Great idea, reasonable cost, simplifies operations.

The firehose of demand for cloud products like AWS has created an odd dynamic between Amazon and its users. Tools for responsible cloud cost management have been foregone, likely because of obvious adverse incentives of providers, and, perhaps less ethically dubious, there appears to be no shortage of ancillary revenue-generating services where AWS focuses their strategic resources (Like all of the ones dropped in advance of ReInvent last week) But the dynamic is problematic all the same: companies of all sizes effectively get “cloud handcuffs”: building dependency on these services but in turn become victims of hard to predict and complex invoices that Amazon themselves can’t demystify. And these aren’t trivial expenses, often times cloud costs are 2nd only to payroll as an operating expense. A number of different startups have been tackling this growing cost problem but few have been so close to it as this team at Taloflow. Love the approach of working with devs on the edges.

Surprise AWS bills suck. This is a step in the right direction, well done.

Today, however, AWS covers a wide range of cloud computing needs and is widely used by enterprises. Therefore, AWS cloud service developers are highly valued, and many overseas companies are looking for such specialists. The EPAM Anywhere platform https://anywhere.epam.com/en/fre... has a lot of great offers.
