SPENDLENS WORKFLOW

Your AWS bill, demystified — and packaged for engineering review.

SpendLens uses a cross-account IAM role and customer-owned CUR export to analyze AWS spend and inventory. It surfaces severity-scored findings and ships AWS CLI or Terraform remediation guidance for customer review. It never moves money — and never assumes ownership of your resources.

What every plan ships with

CONNECT

One IAM role. Read-only by default.

Deploy the onboarding CloudFormation template from the app. SpendLens never asks for keys, never assumes ownership, and never moves money.

# CloudFormation from onboarding aws cloudformation create-stack \ --stack-name spendlens-readonly \ --template-body file://customer-onboarding.yaml \ --parameters ExternalId=generated-by-app
SCAN

Scheduled + on-demand

Run a first scan after onboarding, then schedule nightly scans as worker-backed persistence comes online.

FIX

CLI · Terraform · UI

Generate precise AWS CLI notes, Terraform guidance, or pull-request-ready remediation text for engineers to review.

EVIDENCE

Audit trail for every fix

Each finding carries resource context, estimated savings, and the evidence needed to decide whether to fix it.

ROLES

Owner/admin access

Customer dashboards are protected so only authorized workspace owners and admins can operate scans.

COMPLIANCE

Clear data boundary

Customer access is read-only. CUR exports stay customer-owned, and remediation remains a draft until the customer applies it.

Plug it in. See the bill.
Fix what's loud.

Connect a read-only AWS role, verify CUR metadata, and start turning billing noise into engineering action.
