Changelog

Infrastructure Catalog and Bill Coverage (Template Update)

More resource config in Infrastructure (NAT, Route 53, SQS, Config, Backup, EBS), clearer bill coverage when spend is not tied to a named resource, and /status month-to-date coverage when material.

  • NAT gateway chips show private connectivity and non-available state
  • Route 53 hosted zone chips show private zones
  • SQS queue attributes read during daily inventory refresh (capped per region)
  • Infrastructure rows show a FIFO chip for FIFO queues (standard queues stay unlabeled)
  • Coverage line names top bill-only services and splits tax from operational spend
  • Config recorder, Backup vault, Backup plan, and EBS volume inventory (floor tier)
  • Load balancer per-resource cost from hourly base plus CloudWatch ConsumedLCUs (reconciled to ELB bill lines)
  • /status shows month-to-date bill coverage when material

S3 Bucket Discovery for Infrastructure (Template Update)

QuietBill can now find S3 buckets in your infrastructure view even when they have no recent CloudWatch activity — including empty or idle buckets that still show up on your bill.

  • S3 buckets discovered via bucket location lookup when S3 is on your active services list
  • Fixes missing buckets in per-resource cost and alert context for accounts that bill for S3 but emit few metrics

+ s3:GetBucketLocation

S3 Versioning, Lambda Memory & DynamoDB Capacity Scanners (Template Update)

QuietBill now catches three common silent cost leaks: S3 buckets with versioning enabled but no lifecycle rules, Lambda functions with over-provisioned memory, and DynamoDB tables paying for capacity they never use.

  • S3 versioning bloat: detects buckets where old versions pile up without expiration rules
  • Lambda memory right-sizing: flags functions with high memory but short durations, estimates savings
  • DynamoDB over-provisioned capacity: finds tables using <20% of their provisioned RCU/WCU

Cost Forecasting, Right-Sizing & Budget Pacing

Your weekly digest now tells you where your bill is heading, which instances are oversized, and whether you're on budget — before month-end surprises.

  • Monthly cost forecast: projected end-of-month spend based on current daily pace, right in your digest
  • Budget pacing: see if you're on track, ahead, or over budget each week (set your monthly budget in settings)
  • Right-sizing suggestions: EC2 instances running at <20% CPU get a cheaper alternative recommendation with estimated savings
  • "What changed" correlation: cost spike alerts now show the likely CloudTrail event that caused them
  • Per-service % changes in weekly digest: see +47% on Lambda at a glance, not just +$12
  • Recommended mutes: new accounts get smart preset that silences CloudFormation, CodeBuild, and other IaC noise

Expanded Resource Coverage (Template Update)

ECS task definitions and EventBridge rules are now visible — idle services and broken event targets get caught before they pile up costs.

  • Idle ECS services detected via task definition analysis
  • Broken EventBridge targets flagged before they silently fail

Design System & Theming Foundation

Every color in the app now comes from a single design token system — consistent look across every page, and the groundwork for custom themes.

  • Unified color tokens: all UI surfaces, text, borders, and accents reference a shared palette
  • Consistent severity colors across alerts, dashboards, pricing, and settings
  • Landing, login, signup, changelog, and terms pages aligned to the same visual language

Runtime Usage Monitoring & Alert Controls

CloudTrail catches resource creation. Now we also detect runtime cost spikes — Lambda loops, NAT data charges, DynamoDB throughput surges — within 15 minutes.

  • Usage spot-check: 15-minute CloudWatch metrics scan detects runtime cost spikes ($5/hr threshold)
  • Event-type muting: silence specific AWS event types you don't need alerts for
  • Timezone-aware delivery: daily reports arrive at 09:00 your local time
  • Infrastructure inventory: dashboard shows active resource counts with cost attribution
  • Region selector: choose which AWS regions to monitor for usage data
  • Alert severity pipeline: every alert carries critical/warning/info severity from generation to display
  • Alert History page redesigned with severity beams, service icons, parsed message sections
  • Multi-line cost formatting in Telegram, Slack & email — no more unreadable bold blocks

Brand Voice & Billing Migration

AI alerts now speak like a human teammate, not a monitoring tool. Migrated to Paddle for simpler checkout.

  • AI prompt enforces brand voice — first-name addressing, single actionable hint per alert
  • Migrated billing from Polar to Paddle — checkout overlay, webhook sync, customer portal
  • Dashboard never calls AWS Cost Explorer on page load — cache-only reads
  • Lambda cost text and estimatedCost separators rewritten for clarity

Connection Controls & Passkey UX

Soft-delete AWS accounts with 30-day retention. Mute notification channels without removing them.

  • AWS account soft-delete with 30-day recovery window
  • Notification channel mute/unmute — pause alerts without disconnecting
  • Passkey inline rename in settings

Alert Resolution & Expanded Coverage

When a risky resource is deleted, the original alert is resolved with a reaction — no second anxiety-inducing message.

  • In-place alert resolution for Telegram, Slack & email (reaction on resolved alerts)
  • ECR lifecycle-policy and AWS Config recorder cost-risk coverage

AWS Cost Optimization & PWA

35% reduction in AWS API costs per account. Progressive Web App support.

  • Batched trend chart (7 CE calls → 1), STS credential caching, health check merged into daily cron
  • PWA manifest with shortcuts, maskable icons, mobile-web-app support
  • SEO audit: noindex on protected routes, sitemap cleanup
  • Pending invoice uses AWS native Estimated flag instead of hardcoded date window

Connection Health & Real-Time Alerts

Automated connection monitoring, broken-connection alerts with inline Telegram buttons, and duplicate prevention.

  • Automated connection health monitoring (Trigger.dev scheduled task)
  • Connection-broken/restored Telegram+Slack alerts with inline buttons
  • Re-onboarding flow for broken accounts — updates existing record
  • Month-end pending invoice banner
  • Cost Explorer self-cost alert when monitoring overhead exceeds $1/day
