Introduction
Cloud adoption has unlocked unprecedented innovation, but it also introduced a persistent challenge: rising and unpredictable cloud costs. Companies across industries are overspending by billions each year without clear insight into what drives their cloud spend.
This is where Beakpoint Insights steps in. Founded by Alan Cox (former CTO of SignalPath, acquired by Alphabet’s Verily), Beakpoint helps organizations understand, analyze, and control the drivers of their cloud costs—turning financial uncertainty into strategic clarity.
The Solution: AI-Powered Cloud Cost Intelligence
Beakpoint focuses on enterprises running PaaS and IaaS workloads on providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. Unlike cloud-native tools that stop at surface-level reporting, Beakpoint combines granular telemetry data with activity-based cost accounting—delivering insights tailored for both engineers and executives.
Key Capabilities:
- 📊 AI/ML-Driven Forecasting – Models that predict future costs based on usage patterns, new customer launches, and business growth.
- 🧮 True Cost Allocation – Assigning costs not just by service, but by customer, feature, or product line—empowering strategic business decisions.
- ⚡ Actionable Recommendations – From anomaly detection to targeted cost-cutting strategies, Beakpoint provides both tactical and strategic guidance.
- ⏱️ Fast Time-to-Value – First insights delivered within 4 hours of onboarding; ongoing optimization with just a few clicks.
The result? Companies move beyond firefighting cloud bills and instead leverage cloud economics as a competitive advantage.
Real-World Impact
In beta with early customers, Beakpoint has already demonstrated:
- Visibility into unit economics (e.g., cost per customer, per photo, per user session).
- Optimization strategies that reduce wasted spend—addressing the 27% of cloud budgets wasted annually (Flexera, 2024).
- Interactive dashboards that empower finance, engineering, and leadership teams to make aligned, data-driven decisions.
