Why Did My AWS Bill Spike?
Strake identifies hidden AWS costs and gives developers the information they need to take action.
Go from reporting a cloud cost problem to fixing it.
Why did my AWS bill spike last month? Cloud reports don’t have the answers. What’s needed is context – the understanding of how changes to cloud infrastructure impact costs. That’s Macroscope.

Where did they come from?
Easily determine the origin of any given piece of your infrastructure. Strake correlates cost and log data so that engineers can easily prove whether a resource came into existence via automation, or from an individual user... All with one click.
How are they being used?
The elasticity of the cloud makes understanding costs difficult. Bills are made up of fixed metered costs, and variable consumption-based costs. Strake makes it easy to understand if a spike is due to an increase in one or the other, or both.
Why did it change?
Finally, any number of tools can be used to modify your cloud configuration, either on purpose, or by accident. Strake makes it easy to understand what changed, and who was behind it.
