Hey, we're Jason, LV and Todd. We're tired of Cost Explorer and overpaying on the AWS bill. You know, "Bill Shock".<p>Beyond the "agency" issue all cloud providers obviously bring, there are still some major problems with cloud billing that are largely unsolved by the market. Here are some that I think are more important than ever and that we want to solve:
- There is a gap in billing information (waiting days makes a difference when you're deploying constantly)
- It takes too much dev time to dissect a cost report and get key info
- Available cost alerting is mostly threshold-based and super noisy (you also have to set it up)
- I can't see how decisions I make impact cloud costs
- The big cloud management platforms are complex to set up / good for enterprises, suck for startups
- It takes a long time to go from insight to action<p>We launched Tim today to address this:

It's simple (yet effective, and you can go deeper) AWS cost management developers really like using. We have many cloud-native companies of decent scale using it and we want to solve the aforementioned problems.<p>What do you think is most painful with AWS billing? If it matters enough, we'll build it.<p>Oh, and happy re:Invent!
