Engineering teams often lack direct visibility into their cloud cost footprint. When FinOps is centralized and cost-saving initiatives are launched, tracking progress becomes fragmented and manual — teams can’t see the cost impact of their work, and ownership becomes a bottleneck.

​
How Costory Helps

Costory enables scoped, automated reporting via Slack and email, giving every team direct visibility into their cloud costs. Decentralize FinOps
1

Open any view in Costory Explorer

Navigate to the Explorer and filter the data to match the scope you want to report on (e.g., a specific team, service, or environment).
2

Create a scheduled report

Click to create a report from your current view. Configure the delivery channel (Slack or email) and set the schedule.
3

Teams receive automated updates

Reports run on a weekly or monthly basis, giving teams a continuous feedback loop without needing access to the billing console.
Decentralize FinOps

​
Report Dimensions

Reports can be scoped using any of the following dimensions:

CSP Metadata

Filter by cloud provider attributes like service name, region, or account.

Native Labels

Use your existing cloud resource labels and tags for filtering.

Virtual Dimensions

Apply rule-based mappings to teams, environments, features, or custom groupings.
Each squad sees only the data relevant to them — no noise, no manual digging.

​
