Catch Cost Spikes
Before They Destroy Your Budget

AI-powered anomaly detection alerts you the moment cloud spending spikes unexpectedly. Stop budget overruns before month-end.

The Hidden Danger of Cloud Cost Spikes

Most companies discover unexpected cloud costs at the end of the month—when it's too late to fix them.

Real-World Example

A developer accidentally left auto-scaling enabled on a test environment over the weekend. By Monday morning, the company had incurred $18,000 in unexpected EC2 costs.

With spike detection: Alert triggered Friday evening when costs increased 400%. Developer notified via Slack, fixed within 30 minutes. Damage: $200 instead of $18,000.

How AI Spike Detection Works

Continuous monitoring with intelligent baseline analysis

Intelligent Baseline Learning

Our AI analyzes your historical spending patterns to establish a "normal" baseline for each service. It understands your weekly cycles, monthly patterns, and seasonal variations.

  • 30-day rolling baseline adapts to your changing infrastructure
  • Service-level granularity tracks EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda separately
  • Day-of-week patterns knows weekdays cost more than weekends
Baseline Average $850/day
Today's Cost $1,450/day

Real-Time Alerts

When spending exceeds your threshold (default: 50% above baseline), you get instant notifications via email, Slack, or webhook.

  • Multi-channel alerts - Email, Slack, Teams, PagerDuty
  • Root cause identification - Exactly which resource caused the spike
  • Severity levels - High/Medium/Low based on $ impact

Common Cloud Cost Spike Causes

We detect all of these automatically

Auto-Scaling Runaway

Misconfigured auto-scaling triggers creating hundreds of instances.

Typical Impact:
$5,000 - $50,000
Detection time: 15 minutes

Database Scaling Event

Sudden RDS/Cloud SQL tier upgrade or unexpected read replica creation.

Typical Impact:
$500 - $5,000/month
Detection time: 30 minutes

Data Transfer Spike

Unexpected egress charges from large data migrations or backups.

Typical Impact:
$1,000 - $10,000
Detection time: 1 hour

Lambda/Function Explosion

Infinite loops or recursive functions causing millions of invocations.

Typical Impact:
$2,000 - $20,000
Detection time: 10 minutes
