Automated Aiven Project Cost Reporting
Every Monday, WebRun opens the Aiven console, reads current charges by project, service, and plan across your billing groups, writes the breakdown into a Google Sheet beside last week's figures, and texts you when any project has jumped.
How do I see Aiven cost broken down by project each week?
WebRun opens the Aiven console every Monday and reads current charges by project, service, and service plan across your billing groups. It writes the breakdown into a Google Sheet beside last week's figures and drafts a Twilio text whenever a project's spend jumps past your threshold.
- Oversized services get resized before they hit the invoice
- Cost per project is readable without opening the console
- A spending jump gets a text the same Monday it appears

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it resize or delete a service to save money?
No. WebRun only reads the billing and service views in Aiven. Changing a plan, pausing a service, or deleting a test cluster stays a decision an engineer makes by hand.
Do I need to open the Aiven console to read this?
No. That is the point. The breakdown lands in a Google Sheet, so whoever signs the bill can read cost by project without touching a service dashboard.
How do I get told about a spike?
WebRun drafts a text through Twilio whenever a project rises past the percentage threshold you set, naming the project and the service behind it. You release the message yourself.
