Seamless Glance

Seamless Glance cost view in a terminal: month-to-date cost, a six-month spend chart, and a cost breakdown by AWS service.
The cost view: month-to-date spend, six months of history and cost by service
What it means

Glance shows your team what exists in AWS and what it costs, in one screen. Nobody needs to know which console page to open to find out where the money is going.

How it works

A Rust terminal app that signs in with your normal AWS credentials and profiles. It reads only what that profile is allowed to see, and you switch profiles without restarting.

Two readers, one screen

For the engineer at the keyboard and the person who signs off on the bill.

For engineers

Answers without the console.

  • Opens on Findings, so the first screen is what needs attention
  • Jump to any service from the command palette, switch region with the arrow keys
  • Describe a resource, copy its AWS CLI command, or open it in the console
For whoever owns the bill

Spend you can read in one screen.

  • Month-to-date cost and the last six months side by side
  • Cost by service, with budget and forecast context
  • A Cost Savings view that turns waste findings into recommendations
Findings

Waste and risk come first.

Glance opens on a list of things worth a look. Press Enter on one to jump to the service it belongs to.

  • EC2 instances averaging under 5 percent CPU over 7 days
  • Secrets without rotation, or with stale rotation
  • Security groups open to the world or exposing sensitive ports
  • Target groups and load balancers with no healthy targets
  • SQS queues without a dead-letter queue
  • ECR repositories piling up untagged or unused images
