Frugal

What it does

Frugal is an Application Cost Engineering (ACE) platform that helps companies reduce cloud spend by optimizing inefficient application code. Unlike traditional FinOps tools focused on infrastructure rightsizing, Frugal analyzes source code alongside observability data and cloud bills to detect expensive application behaviors and then generates quality-assured pull requests with fixes. Frugal automatically identifies costly patterns such as excessive metrics reporting, inefficient AI model calls, or wasteful database queries. By fixing code directly, Frugal reduces actual service consumption rather than shifting resources. Customer Results: - Cut cloud spend by up to 20% by reducing consumption - Increase visibility into how applications drive cloud costs - Automate cost hygiene, from untagged costs to repos without owners - Prevent future waste by embedding optimization into the SDLC - Reduce carbon footprint by cutting unnecessary consumption
