Hey, thanks for the question - Infracost does three things at the moment: Cost estimation before code is merged (and this is what is in JetBrains now with this plugin); then it checks the code for best practices being followed (like if the code is using old instance types, or old volume types, or there is no retention policies in place etc), it will tell the engineers exactly how to fix those. and finally, it also checks to make sure all resources are tagged properly both with the key and value being checked. Again it tells the engineer how to fix it if there isn an issue.

So overall, the two main benefits are cost avoidance, and then engineering time saving or toil reduction, since all the issues get fixed before the code is merged. The product is being used by over 3,000 companies now in CI/CD; we have a few case studies on the website: https://www.infracost.io/safe-fleet/
