Not all cost increases are a problem. More customers, higher traffic, or new workloads will naturally increase cloud spend. But when finance reviews the bill, that nuance is usually lost. Engineering needs a way to link cost increases to business growth and defend scaling decisions.

How Costory Helps

Costory allows you to ingest business or usage metrics into the same interface as your cloud cost data. Supported sources include:
  • Datadog
  • BigQuery, Parquet, CSV
  • Spreadsheets or APIs
Unit Economics Once imported, teams can define unit economics like:
  • Cost per active customer
  • Storage cost per document
  • Lambda cost per OCR job
These metrics can be visualized over time and scoped by team, product, or region.

Benefits

  • Quantifies infra efficiency with unit KPIs
  • Enables better communication with finance around ROI
  • Validates investments in performance and architecture
  • Helps defend scaling-related cost increases
