👋 Hi everyone,
I’d like to get your feedback on a
new PR comment design that includes a better way to show costs related to usage-based resources. Please see
this mock PR comment (for reference
here’s the current PR comment).
Questions:
1. Do Fixed and Variable costs make sense? or do “provisioned costs” and “usage costs” make more sense?
2. We’re thinking of removing the “New monthly cost” as it seems confusing to combine fixed and variable costs into one figure - what do you think?
3. In the summary table, variable costs would show when usage-based resources such as S3 buckets are added or removed. However, when things like lifecycle policies are changed, we could detect and indicate whether costs may increase/decrease. How useful do you think these things to engineers? (we can’t know the $ amount of the change yet, that’ll come in the future).
4. Any other feedback?
If you have 15mins this/next week, please DM me as I’d also love to jump on a Zoom call to chat about the above.
