Kubernetes Cost Monitoring

If you've ever tried to figure out why your Kubernetes bill keeps climbing, you know the frustration. The cloud provider shows you a number. Maybe a few charts. But which team is responsible? Which deployment is the culprit? Good luck.

The tools that answer these questions exist, but they come with enterprise sales calls, annual contracts, and price tags that start in the five figures. That's fine if you're a Fortune 500. But what if you're a startup, a small team, or just someone who wants to understand their costs without a procurement process?

I'm building ChivesCost to be different:

• Sign up and start. No sales calls. No contracts. No "let's schedule a demo."
• Pay for what you use. Transparent pricing. No minimums. Cancel anytime.
• See where the money goes. Costs broken down by namespace, deployment, label. The answers you actually need.

ChivesCost isn't ready yet, but it's coming. If you want early access, drop your email below and I'll let you know when it launches.
