Page the owning service team when projected month-end spend breaches its budget
Hourly it projects each service's month-end spend from BigQuery run-rate, and for any service tracking to blow past its budget it pages the owning team via PagerDuty and opens…

What it does
Projects where each service's monthly cloud spend will land based on current run-rate, compares that projection to the service's budget, and escalates only the services on track to breach. Breaches page the owning on-call team in PagerDuty and open a tracking issue in GitLab so the overrun has both an immediate responder and a paper trail.
When to use it
Use it when teams have explicit monthly cloud budgets and a late-month surprise is unacceptable. Best for orgs that want proactive, owner-targeted escalation rather than a reactive end-of-month review.
How it works
- 1An hourly schedule triggers the projection run.
- 2A BigQuery query computes month-to-date spend per service and projects month-end via run-rate.
- 3A logic step compares each projection to the service's budget and keeps only those projected to breach by a meaningful margin.
- 4For each breach, an action triggers a PagerDuty incident routed to the owning service's escalation policy.
- 5An output step opens a GitLab issue in the owning repo with the projection, budget, and contributing cost lines, linked to the incident.
