How Wozz Simulates Cloud Costs
(And Why Linters Can't)
A 'cloud horror story' bill is rarely one simple mistake. It's a complex trade-off between API calls, data transfer, and memory.
This is why simple linters fail: they can find a for loop, but they can't tell you if it's cheap or expensive.
Wozz is a Cost Simulator.
Our engine works in two parts:
The Open-Source Engine:
A pluggable rule system that parses your code. It's 'context-aware.' It knows get_object costs money for both API calls and data transfer.
The Wozz "Brain" (SaaS):
This is our private backend. It connects to your real AWS account (read-only) to fetch your actual pricing. It feeds this context into the engine.
The Result: Wozz doesn't just "find a bug." It runs a high-fidelity simulation of your code against your real cloud bill, giving you a precise dollar-impact report before you ever merge.
This is the only way to stop 'horror story' bills for good.
