Automate FinOps Reporting
1. Collect & Centralize Cost Data
Stop wasting time chasing down cost data. Costory automatically pulls billing data from AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, DataDog, and OpenAI. Need more? We’re always adding new integrations, and you can import from BigQuery, S3, or any other source to get a complete financial picture.
2. Standardize & Normalize Data
Cloud providers don’t speak the same cost language. Costory does. We normalize cost data across AWS, GCP, and Azure, giving you a unified, clean schema. Virtual dimensions bridge the gaps—grouping inconsistent tags like env, environment, and Env into a single, reliable category.
3. Turn Costs into Business Insight
Raw cost data means nothing without context. Costory enriches it by mapping spend to teams, products, and business units. Track unit economics—cost per customer, request, or feature—and correlate cost spikes with key business and engineering events.
4. See Where Your Money Goes
No more blind spots. Use Waterfall Explorer, dashboards, and saved views to break down your cloud costs in real-time. Spot anomalies, identify trends, and drill into the details—all in a few clicks.
5. Integrate & Export Anywhere
Costory fits into your engineering and financial ecosystem. Sync cost data with BigQuery, FP&A tools, and internal databases so finance and engineering teams stay in sync on cloud spend.
6. Stay Ahead of Budget Overruns
Set real-time budgets for teams, features, or projects and track them effortlessly. Define thresholds based on business metrics—revenue, users, API calls—so you can act before overspending happens.
7. Build Dashboards That Matter
Not all teams need the same cost insights. Costory lets CFOs, engineers, and team leads build personalized dashboards with the right data for their needs—without extra noise.
8. Generate Monthly FinOps Reports in Minutes
Reporting doesn’t have to be painful. Costory’s Digest Builder creates a structured cost breakdown, lets you add context with annotations, and shares it via Notion, PowerPoint, or internal docs—so you’re always prepared for your next FinOps review.
