Relia

The "ESLint" for Cloud Costs. Prevent cloud waste before it ships to production.

⚡ Problem: The "Bill Shock" Loop

Every engineering team knows the ritual:

1. Engineer deploys a change (e.g., upsizing an RDS instance).
2. CI/CD passes (tests pass, build succeeds).
3. 30 days later: Finance asks why the AWS bill jumped by $5,000.

Existing tools (CloudHealth, Vantage) are reactive. They tell you after you've wasted the money.

🛡️ Solution: Shift Left

Relia sits in your Pull Request. It parses your Terraform/Pulumi changes, estimates the monthly cost impact, and blocks the merge if you blow your budget.

Tagline: "Stop paying the infrastructure tax. Start shipping."

🧩 How It Works

Relia runs as a CLI tool in your local environment or CI pipeline to minimize the feedback loop. See ARCHITECTURE.md for details.

✨ Features

1. Pre-Deploy Cost Estimation

Know exactly what a PR will cost before you click merge. Supports both standard .tf files and terraform plan -json output for high accuracy.

# Standard Estimate
$ relia estimate
📊 Relia Cost Estimate ...

# View as JSON for pipeline parsing
relia estimate . --format json | jq .total_cost

📊 Relia Cost Estimate ...

# With Visual Topology
$ relia estimate --topology
🌳 Infrastructure Topology
☁️  Project
└── aws_instance
    └── 💻 web  $60.00/mo

# With Cost Diff
$ relia estimate --diff
📉 Cost Diff
+ aws_instance.web  +$60.00/mo

2. Budget Guardrails

Set clear policies in .relia.yaml and enforce them with relia check.

# .relia.yaml
budget: 500.0
rules:
  aws_instance: 50.0 # Max price per instance

$ relia check --budget 500
✅ Within budget. Total: $450.00, Limit: $500.00

3. CI/CD Integration

Relia ships with a GitHub Action to block expensive PRs automatically.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Installation

Relia is available via PyPI (and Poetry):

pip install relia
# or
poetry add relia

2. Run Locally

Navigate to your Terraform project and run:

# Estimate cost
relia estimate ./infrastructure

# Check against budget
relia check ./infrastructure --budget 1000

3. Run with Docker

You can also run Relia without installing Python:

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app relia-io/relia estimate .

4. Use as Pre-Commit Hook

Prevent bad commits locally by adding Relia to your .pre-commit-config.yaml:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/davidahmann/relia_oss
    rev: v0.1.2
    hooks:
      - id: relia-estimate # Prints cost table on every commit
      - id: relia-check    # Blocks commit if budget exceeded

5. Add to CI/CD

Add Relia to your GitHub Actions workflow to block expensive PRs.

# .github/workflows/cost-check.yml
name: Cost Check
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  relia:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: relia-io/action@v1
        with:
          path: './infra'
          budget: '1000'
          markdown_report: 'relia_report.md'

🗺️ Roadmap

• Phase 1 (MVP): CLI, Terraform Support, AWS Pricing.
• Phase 2: GitHub Action, Budget Policies via .relia.yml.
• Phase 3: Utilization Scanning ("Fix" Mode).
