While AWS provides native billing tools, they often lack the flexibility and detail needed for complex, multi-account environments. To address this limitation, we developed the base2Services Cost Reporting feature. It is a comprehensive, automated solution that delivers real-time cost tracking, predicted spend analysis, and seamless integration with dashboards and reports.  ## What is the new Cost Reporting Feature? The new Cost Reporting feature is a powerful tool developed to help organisations track and analyse AWS costs with greater precision. It supports multiple contracts per account, enabling cost attribution across complex account structures. With dual storage options for detailed data in Amazon S3 and summary data in DynamoDB the feature provides both granular and high-level views of your AWS spend.  ## Feature Availability The Cost Reporting feature is available to all base2Services clients as part of our [managed platform services](https://www.base2services.com/managed_aws/) or [DevOps partnerships](https://www.base2services.com/devops/). If you’re an existing customer, this feature may already be active in your environment. ## How does it work? The feature uses an automated processing pipeline that consistently collects, validates, and stores cost data. The pipeline ensures reliable, up-to-date information that can be used to generate reports, build dashboards, and monitor spending trends over time. Additionally, all functions have been upgraded to Python 3.13, enhancing performance and ensuring the use of the latest runtime technology. ## What are the key benefits? - Comprehensive cost visibility across multiple accounts and contracts - Support for predicted cost tracking to forecast future spending - Dual storage support for detail and summary data - Automated data collection and validation, reducing manual effort - Dashboards and reporting readiness, streamlining financial tracking - Modern performant runtime with Python 3.13 upgrade ## Why does it matter? Effective cost management is critical as AWS usage scales. This new feature provides the infrastructure needed for consistent, accurate, and transparent cost tracking, making it easier to identify trends, control budgets, and report on usage. By automating key processes and supporting advanced forecasting, it reduces overhead and enhances financial accountability across your cloud environment.
