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.
