Nitric · FinOps Profile

Nitric Finops

FinOps view of Nitric. The Nitric framework, SDKs, CLI, and provider plugins are free and open source (Apache 2.0), so there is no Nitric line item on a bill. The actual cost of a Nitric application is whatever your target cloud charges for the resources Nitric provisions and runs - the API gateways, queues, topics, buckets, key-value and SQL databases, secrets, websockets, and compute on AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. FinOps practice for Nitric is therefore cloud-provider FinOps applied to the resources declared in code.
