About this project
AI workloads have spiked cloud bills. FinOps — cloud cost engineering — is one of the hottest 2026 specialties. This project teaches: pulling cost data (AWS Cost Explorer, GCP Billing), tagging strategy, anomaly detection, and the per-team chargeback model. Build a dashboard for your own cloud (even a $50/month side-project) and find real savings.
Why build this in 2026?
AI cost runaways have made FinOps a board-level concern in 2026.
