Hey Product Hunters, I’m Brian, a co-founder of Strake 👋

Did you know there are over 300,000 line items in AWS's most recent EC2 pricing file? I know this is a constant pain point for me - How am I supposed to know when prices change, how they impact our AWS bill, or which infrastructure changes our team should make?

I’m very excited to share a solution: ‘AWS Pricing by Strake’, an open-source project that allows anyone to use Amazon Web Service’s public pricing data in Google Sheets!

Strake is the cloud cost optimization platform for engineers. In addition to our main product, we have several open-source projects to help technologists understand and control their AWS costs.

The add-on allows AWS users to take action against cloud costs. You can analyze public AWS pricing data, make the right infrastructure changes, and execute smarter reservations. 💰 

The project currently supports Amazon EC2, EBS, and RDS, with On-Demand and Reserved Instance pricing. We have a roadmap for adding additional functionality and services including Compute Savings Plans, Fargate, DynamoDB, and more!

How does it work?

1️⃣  Download ‘AWS Pricing by Strake’ from the Google Workspace Marketplace

2️⃣  Open a Google Spreadsheet, go to Extensions —> AWS Pricing by Strake —> How to Use AWS Pricing to open the sidebar with formula documentation 📖

3️⃣  Write your first formula! Try: =AWS_EC2("ondemand","m5.large","us-east-1","linux")

We’re excited to collaborate with the Product Hunt & AWS community through this project. Please share your feedback on the product below. We'd love your input on the roadmap! 🚀
