# TerraCost
# Overview
TerraCost automatically gives you insight into the total cost of your deployments - before you deploy them and without having to add them up manually. This allows your to keep track of any impact that a change to infrastructure could have on finances. It offers visibility, transparency, and governance, meaning that it helps devs as much as it does managers.
It is an open-source project that can be audited, contributed to, and quickly integrated with any pipeline that uses Terraform.
