Cloud Infrastructure Cost Analyzer

This project aptly finds its home on the perfect domain http://WhatsItGonnaCost.in/

(Before we proceed further) Disclaimer: This software is entirely built by Lovable!!

With that out of the way let me explain what this project is all about:

This sophisticated web application provides comprehensive cloud infrastructure cost analysis across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and serverless platforms like Supabase and Firebase. Unlike simple AWS calculators, this tool offers deep comparative analysis based on natural language project descriptions and expected user count.

The application intelligently analyzes user requirements to recommend appropriate cloud architecture, then provides detailed cost breakdowns across multiple providers with growth projections. It goes beyond just cost estimates by offering architectural guidance and cloud strategy recommendations tailored to each specific project.

Key Features and Capabilities:

1. Multi-Cloud Cost Comparison
   The application doesn't just analyze AWS costs—it performs cross-platform comparisons between traditional cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and modern serverless alternatives (Supabase, Firebase). This gives users a comprehensive view of their options across the entire cloud ecosystem, identifying potential cost savings across providers and regions.

2. Intelligent Architecture Recommendations

   Based on the project description and expected user count, the system analyzes requirements and suggests appropriate cloud services. It evaluates factors like traffic levels, application type (e-commerce, social media, analytics, content-heavy), and data processing needs to create a tailored architecture recommendation.

Detailed Service Breakdown

For each recommended service, the application provides:

• Monthly cost estimates based on expected usage

• Service specifications and sizing recommendations

• Regional pricing variations

• Equivalent services on competing cloud platforms

Growth Projection Analysis

The tool provides sophisticated scaling projections showing how costs would evolve at 10x and 100x user growth. These projections aren't simple multiplications but include:

• Additional services required at larger scale

• Infrastructure changes needed for higher load

• Volume discount effects at scale

• Different scaling factors for different service types

Serverless Feasibility Assessment

The application evaluates whether the project would benefit from serverless architecture, providing:

• Cost comparison between traditional and serverless approaches

• Analysis of which services can be replaced by serverless equivalents

• Identification of components that might be challenging to implement in serverless

• Hybrid architecture recommendations where appropriate

Regional Optimization

The application analyzes price differences across global regions for each cloud provider and recommends potential cost savings from strategic region selection, accounting for:

• Regional pricing variations for each service

• Equivalent regions across different providers

• Cost impact of region selection at different scale levels

Technical Implementation

The application is built using modern web technologies:

• React with TypeScript for the frontend

• React Query for data fetching and state management

• Shadcn UI components with Tailwind CSS for the interface

• Recharts for data visualization

• React Router for navigation

• React Hook Form for form handling

This comprehensive tool provides organisations/startups with the insights needed to make informed cloud infrastructure decisions, optimise costs across providers, and plan for future growth with confidence.

This estimate can also be used while creating pitch deck by founders at any stage of their journey actually, be it early stage or someone who already has a few thousand customers whose startup/product/service offering is rapidly scaling and needs an estimate on how much money is to be raised or how to prepare for whats coming.
