# Cost Anomaly Detector
|
|
|
|
Monitor cloud spending in near real time, detect abnormal spikes, and trigger alerts or safe remediation workflows before monthly bills explode.
|
|
|
|
## Problem
|
|
Cloud spend surprises are usually discovered days later in billing dashboards, after the costly behavior has already continued.
|
|
|
|
## Core capabilities
|
|
- Ingest billing and usage metrics from cloud providers.
|
|
- Learn baseline cost patterns by service, account, and environment.
|
|
- Detect anomalies using thresholds plus statistical deviation.
|
|
- Trigger response playbooks: alert only, scale-down, or shutdown non-critical resources.
|
|
|
|
## MVP scope
|
|
- AWS Cost Explorer integration first, then Azure/GCP.
|
|
- Daily anomaly scoring with high-priority instant alerts.
|
|
- Human approval required for any destructive remediation.
|
|
|
|
## Success criteria
|
|
- Faster detection of abnormal cost events.
|
|
- Measurable reduction in unplanned monthly overspend.
|
|
|
|
## Stretch ideas
|
|
- Forecast end-of-month bill scenarios with confidence ranges.
|
|
- Recommend reserved instances or savings plans automatically.
