Archera

Archera is a cloud financial operations (FinOps) platform that helps organizations reduce cloud spend by 20-30% through intelligent commitment management and insured, short-term cloud commitments across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Its Guaranteed Commitments (Guaranteed Savings Plans, Guaranteed Reserved Instances, and Guaranteed Committed Use Discounts) provide flexible terms as short as 30 days with risk protection for unused capacity. The Archera Public API exposes commitment plans, commitments, exchanges, metrics, resources, orgs, and uploads over a REST v1 interface authenticated with an API key or OAuth 2.0 (Authorization Code + PKCE), and Archera operates a hosted remote MCP server so AI assistants can query cloud cost data and optimization recommendations directly. A Partner API supports onboarding customers and creating marketplace offers via AWS CPPO, Microsoft MPO, and Google MCPO.

Archera publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Public API. Tagged areas include Company, Developer Tools, FinOps, Cloud Cost Management, and Cloud Commitments.

Archera’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, engineering blog, support, pricing, and 20 more developer resources.
