Cloud cost optimization
on infrastructure you control

Strawly scans your cloud resources for savings, explains every recommendation, and tracks what you save once you act. Self-hosted, source-available, and priced without a percentage of your bill.

The FinOps tools that exist weren't built for your team

Enterprise platforms often tie costs to usage or seat counts, keep your data in their systems, and require dedicated teams to operate. Strawly is different.

Traditional enterprise tools

  • ✗ Priced as a percentage of your cloud spend, so the fee grows with the bill
  • ✗ Weeks-long onboarding with professional services
  • ✗ SaaS-only: your billing data leaves your infrastructure
  • ✗ Monolithic: pay for features you'll never use
  • ✗ Black-box recommendations you can't inspect or audit
  • ✗ Built for enterprise procurement, not engineering teams

Strawly

  • ✓ Source-available, free to self-host on your own cloud accounts
  • ✓ Up and running in minutes, not months
  • ✓ Self-hosted: your data stays in your infrastructure
  • ✓ Modular: install only what you actually need
  • ✓ Explainable optimization recommendations
  • ✓ Built by engineers, for engineering and finance teams

What Strawly does

One codebase, no paid tiers, nothing feature-gated. Cards marked planned are on the roadmap.

Optimization recommendations

The scanner flags idle resources, rightsizing candidates, and termination targets from your Azure Monitor metrics. Every recommendation shows the evidence behind it.

Savings tracking

Log the optimizations you implement and track realized savings over time. Group them into initiatives with owners, target dates, and progress bars.

Role-based access control

Per-role permissions for engineers, analysts, and finance. Administrator, Analyst, and Engineer roles ship by default, and you can define your own.

Commitment management Planned

Reserved instance and savings plan coverage, expiration dates, and effective rates in one place. On the roadmap.

Spend reporting Planned

A daily spend dashboard built from your own billing exports, broken down by account, service, team, or tag. On the roadmap.

Deploy the core, add modules as you need them

Strawly's modular architecture means you start lean and add capabilities when you need them.

01

Deploy the core

Run Strawly on your own infrastructure, with its database. The setup guide walks through it in about 15 minutes.

02

Connect your Azure account

Give Strawly read-only access to your Azure subscription. It reads your resources and their usage straight from Azure. Nothing is sent to a third party.

03

Add the modules you need

Turn on the Azure optimization module. Commitments, spend reporting, and AWS support switch on the same way as they ship.

04

Act on insights

Your team works through the recommendations, records what it implements, and tracks savings from one place.

What the source-available license gives you

Strawly is licensed under the Source First License 1.1, with a written grant that lets any organization run it on its own cloud accounts at no cost. The code that touches your billing data and generates recommendations is open for review. No hidden algorithms, no black-box scoring.

Free · Source First 1.1

Free to use, modify, and self-host for personal projects, and for any organization, whatever its size, running Strawly on the cloud accounts it owns. The source is available for review by anyone.
