Get Cost Visibility Before You Deploy
CloudBurn shows you exactly what your infrastructure changes will cost, directly in your Pull Request. No more surprise AWS bills from that "small change" someone pushed to production.
Here's the setup flow:
Choose Your Path
CloudBurn App
Want cost estimates in your PRs? Start here:
- Install CloudBurn - Set up the CloudBurn app from GitHub Marketplace to visualize infrastructure costs directly in Pull Requests
GitHub Actions
Already have CloudBurn? These actions generate the diffs and plans that CloudBurn analyzes:
- AWS CDK Diff GitHub Action - Automatically post formatted CDK diff output as comments on Pull Requests
- Terraform Plan GitHub Action - Automatically post formatted Terraform plan output as comments on Pull Requests
How It Works
- You open a PR with infrastructure changes (CDK or Terraform)
- GitHub Action runs your CDK diff or Terraform plan
- CloudBurn analyzes the output and calculates cost impact
- Cost breakdown appears as a comment on your PR
