Budget controlling: cloud spend management and reporting
S

The primary requirement is to enable comprehensive control and visibility over cloud spending. This involves the ability to:
- Summarize cloud spending: generate a consolidated report detailing cloud expenditures across all workspaces and projects that have a configured payment method.
- Track budget utilization: For each of these entities, the report must clearly display:
- The allocated budget
- The remaining budget in monetary terms.
- The percentage of the budget already used.
- Flexible Data Access: this critical financial information needs to be accessible in two key ways:
- User Interface (UI): a clear, intuitive view within the meshStack platform for easy real-time monitoring and analysis by users.
- Programmatic access: an API or export functionality that allows the data to be pulled and integrated into external business intelligence tools such as Excel and Power BI for deeper analysis, custom dashboards, and broader organizational reporting.
This capability will empower organizations to effectively manage, monitor, and report on their cloud financial operations.
