Governance & Showback that Finance Trusts
WHY GOVERNANCE & SHOWBACK MATTERS
Cloud spend without governance is just a pile of numbers. Finance doubts them, engineering ignores them, and leadership gets blindsided.
Governance & Showback ensures:
Finance signs off on a trusted ledger of cloud spend
Engineering sees their costs in the language of usage
Leadership makes confident, accountable decisions
OUR APPROACH
We combine AWS-native data with automation-first workflows:
CUR & ATHENA PIPELINE
- Query with Athena for flexible, on demand insights.
- Automate ingestion of AWS Cost & Usage Reports (CUR).
- Build repeatable pipelines for Finance and Engineering views.
dbt Snapshots
- Transform raw CUR data into clean, governed tables.
- Apply consistent business rules(tags, accounts, BUs).
- Create historical snapshots for trend analysis & forecasting..
FINANCE SIGN-OFF
- Establish a single source of truth.
- Finance approves the ledger, Engineering and Leadership align.
-Decisions backed by numbers everyone trusts.
