Today, I'd like to share with you a thing I've worked on for quite some time. Well, the majority of the time I was procrastinating it, but still.

This small project is called Cost Exporter. It's designed to fetch metrics from AWS Cost Explorer API and present them as Prometheus metrics on an HTTP endpoint.

In theory, it's extensible. So, other cloud providers and formats could be added.

It may have some rough edges, since I haven't tested it in real production, only in my test account. Also, this is a classical pet-project: its main goal is to refresh some knowledge and play with some new technologies - not necessarily provide a production-grade solution. Still, I think it may be a useful tool. At least, the idea itself is definitely useful.

Cost Exporter is written in Go, has a Helm chart, everything is stored in GHCR, and automated using GitHub Actions. I have some other ideas on how to improve it, but I cannot guarantee that I do that.

Hope, you'll find this project interesting!
