Cloud cost intelligence
See every dollar your cloud burns.
Emberline turns 40,000 billing line items into answers — which team, which feature, which customer — refreshed hourly, with anomalies flagged in minutes instead of at month-end.

The problem
The bill arrives 30 days late. The damage doesn't wait.
Spend is your #2 line item — and nobody owns it
Cloud sits right behind payroll on the P&L, split across 40,000 undifferentiated line items. Finance sees the total; engineering sees the services; no one sees the cause.
Anomalies compound for weeks before anyone looks
A misconfigured NAT gateway or a runaway batch job burns quietly until the invoice lands. By then it's a five-figure write-off and a Slack thread of shrugs.
Unit economics are a quarterly spreadsheet ritual
"What does customer X cost us?" takes an analyst a week of tag archaeology — and it's stale before the deck is done. Pricing and capacity decisions run on vibes.
The Emberline shift
Billing data streams in hourly, resolves to owners automatically, and every dollar gets a name: a team, a feature, a customer. Cost stops being a month-end surprise and becomes an operating metric.
What it does
From invoice archaeology to operating discipline.
Anomaly detection
Catch the spike on day one, not day thirty
Emberline builds seasonality-aware baselines for every service × region × account combination and watches them against hourly billing ingestion — so a cost regression is a same-day fix, not a month-end autopsy.
- Alert in ~15 minutes of a spike clearing baseline, with the exact line items attached — not just "spend is up."
- Ownership routing via your tag map: the right team gets paged in Slack or PagerDuty, not a shared inbox.
- Noise-controlled: deploy-aware suppression and per-service thresholds keep it under 3 alerts a week for a typical org.
Unit economics
Know your cost per customer, per feature, per request
Allocation that survives contact with a real infrastructure: Emberline joins billing data with tags, Kubernetes labels, and request traces to attribute shared costs the way your architecture actually works.
- Rules for shared cost — proportional, even-split, or fixed — with a full audit trail per dollar allocated.
- Infra margin per customer, refreshed daily — flag negative-margin accounts before renewal, not after.
- Warehouse-native export to Snowflake or Databricks, so RevOps can join cost to revenue without a CSV in sight.
Commitment planner
Buy commitments like a portfolio manager
Reserved instances and savings plans are a six-figure bet most teams place once a year on a spreadsheet. Emberline simulates coverage against a 12-month forecast and recommends a laddered buy you can defend to your CFO.
- Coverage simulation across 1-yr and 3-yr terms, with break-even dates and downside if usage drops 20%.
- Laddered purchases — smaller commits each quarter instead of one annual cliff — so coverage tracks growth.
- Expiry watch: renewal alerts 60 days out, with utilization history attached to every expiring commitment.
Integrations
Plugs into the stack you already run.
Billing in, context in, answers out. Connect a read-only role and Emberline does the rest — no agents, no sidecar, nothing deployed in your VPC.
Missing one? The ingestion API takes any FOCUS-format billing export.
Customers
Teams stopped arguing about the bill.
"We found a $31K/month orphaned cluster in the first 48 hours. Emberline paid for the year before the trial ended."
VP Platform Engineering, Northserve
"Board asks about gross margin now get answered from a dashboard, not a two-week spreadsheet project. Cost per customer, daily."
CFO, Fieldstone
"The anomaly alerts are the first cost tooling my engineers don't mute. Right team, right line items, almost no noise."
Head of Infrastructure, Kappa Labs
