CostManagement

Keeping cloud/infra spend aligned with actual need — see BusinessValue/UnitEconomics for the business-facing version.

Why we need this / what value this brings

Cloud costs can silently grow to a multiple of what's needed if nothing is watching them.

When to use this

Set up basic visibility before scale makes an unoptimized bill painful — cheap to do early, annoying to unwind later.

How to use or implement this

Start with billing alerts and free-tier-first defaults (already a stated preference); add deeper FinOps practice once spend is significant.
