👋 Hey Raphael, Azure prices are already in the Cloud Pricing API and there are many resources supported by the CLI. If you mean self-hosted deployment on Azure then it’s something we’re focusing on in July so we should have an improved experience in the next few weeks.

cool, thanks so much for the quick response

do you have a use-case in mind? we’re always interested in hearing how people use infracost and what’s appealing most about self-hosting
b
yeah, always happy to provide info. we were recently contacted for a bid on a services contract regarding a performant api for pulling a ton of different info on cloud services providers. Their interface provides cost comparison between on-prem and cloud solutions for advocacy. Since the enterprise internal network and infra teams are extremely security conscious and aren't on terraform yet, we need to query cost data in a usable format but without the IaC use case. Major draw of using infracost libraries compared to the tool evaluations they did for data is your venture backing and high historical startup success leading me to believe this service is unlikely to be deprecated anytime soon. The reason we'd use self-hosting is internal extensibility for future development on our own OSS products
w
Awesome use-case! We’re discussing how we can enable the non-IaC use-case too, see this GH issue for our current thinking. That plus the self-hosting might help you a lot 🙂
b
Yeah. I don't know if you've seen what we're up to but we build a true multi-cloud interface for Terraform (as compared to HashiCorp's siloed provisioner approach) so we'll likely want capability to use InfraCost in a microservices architecture. I think using external cloud platforms tends to be detrimental in these cases when it's so close to core competency and part of customer facing applications.

I just saw the demo on producthunt now, looks cool!
