Status: CloudBurn Platform has not launched publicly yet. These docs describe how it works for invited users and anyone evaluating it. Join the waitlist for a 30% founding-member discount: only waitlist members get it, and they keep the lower price for as long as they keep their plan.
CloudBurn Platform is the managed layer on top of the open-source CloudBurn toolkit, running at app.cloudburn.io. Instead of installing the CLI and wiring up CI yourself, you connect your AWS accounts and GitHub organization once, then run optimization scans and receive cost reports on pull requests.
Once the Platform is open, you sign up with email and password, GitHub, or Google. Email sign-ups need to verify their address before the first sign-in.
What you get
| Capability | Where to start |
|---|---|
| Cost estimation comments on pull requests via the GitHub App | Set up PR cost estimation |
| Optimization scans across four areas, with shared snapshots and history | Cost Optimization |
| AWS spend by service, usage type, and Region | AWS Cost Tree |
| AWS account connections through a role you deploy, with a customer-owned results bucket | Connect an AWS account |
| Shared workspaces with owner, admin, and member roles | Workspaces and members |
| An AWS pricing calculator across EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, and more | AWS Simple Pricing Calculator in your dashboard |
| Plans with a 14-day free trial | Plans and billing |
The AWS Simple Pricing Calculator builds a per-region estimate for your whole stack: search for a service or instance type, configure each resource, view the total monthly, annually, weekly, daily, or hourly, and export the estimate as CSV. The free standalone calculators on cloudburn.io cover the same services one at a time.
Open the account menu for Settings, Profile, or Billing. Settings groups Workspace and Billing separately from your personal Profile and Security settings.
AWS Bill Analyzer is marked Soon and is not available yet.
How it relates to the open-source toolkit
CloudBurn Platform runs optimization scans through an IAM role you deploy and control (the AWS managed ReadOnlyAccess policy plus write access to your results bucket) and stores results in an S3 bucket you own. Each scan reviews four areas, Unused Resources, Resource Efficiency, Commitment Savings, and Cost Governance, and every check in them is an open-source rule you can also run yourself with the CLI discover command. Platform also links your workspace to GitHub App cost reports on pull requests.
If you'd rather run everything yourself, the open-source CLI, SDK, and rules are free. Start at the CLI docs.
