About This Project

OptScale is a comprehensive FinOps platform that gives engineering and finance teams complete visibility into their multi-cloud infrastructure costs. It connects directly to your cloud accounts to provide real-time expense tracking, resource utilization analysis, and actionable optimization recommendations that can reduce your cloud bills by 30-50%.

Unlike basic cost monitoring tools, OptScale combines financial operations with performance profiling, allowing teams to understand not just what resources cost, but how efficiently they're being used. The platform includes ML-powered anomaly detection to catch cost spikes before they impact your budget, and provides detailed S3 storage optimization insights to eliminate wasteful spending on object storage.

Built for organizations running workloads across multiple cloud providers, OptScale normalizes billing data and metrics into a unified dashboard. It supports Kubernetes cost allocation at the namespace and pod level, making it ideal for containerized environments where traditional cloud cost tools fall short. The platform also includes PaaS instrumentation capabilities to profile application performance alongside infrastructure costs.

As an open-source solution, OptScale offers transparency and customization options that proprietary FinOps tools cannot match, while still providing enterprise-grade features like budget alerts, cost allocation tags, reserved instance recommendations, and detailed reporting for stakeholder communication.
