Automated Scaleway Spend Spike Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens the Scaleway console, checks running instances, storage, and the current month's projected spend against last month's total, sends you a Twilio text when the projection crosses the threshold you set, and archives the full usage report as a file in Google Drive.
How do I catch a Scaleway spend spike before it hits my invoice?
Every morning, WebRun checks your Scaleway console for running instances, storage, and this month's projected spend. It sends you a Twilio text when the projection crosses the threshold you set, naming what is driving the increase, and archives the full usage report to Google Drive, so a spend spike gets caught before the invoice arrives.
- A spend spike gets caught mid month instead of at the invoice
- Every alert names what is driving the increase, not just the total
- A full usage report is archived every day for easy comparison

Questions, answered
Does it stop or resize any resource on its own?
No. WebRun only reads usage and projects spend. Stopping an instance or resizing a resource always stays a decision you make.
How is the spend threshold set?
You set the dollar amount or the percentage increase over last month that should trigger a text, so the alert matches your own budget.
Can I see the full usage breakdown, not just the alert?
Yes. Every run archives a full usage report to Google Drive, so you can open the detail behind any text alert.
