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.
