Hey, we&#x27;re Jason, LV and Todd. We&#x27;re tired of Cost Explorer and overpaying on the AWS bill. You know, &quot;Bill Shock&quot;.<p>Beyond the &quot;agency&quot; 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&#x27;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&#x27;t see how decisions I make impact cloud costs - The big cloud management platforms are complex to set up &#x2F; 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: [1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.producthunt.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;tim-4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.producthunt.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;tim-4</a> It&#x27;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&#x27;ll build it.<p>Oh, and happy re:Invent!
