Daily Cloud Margin Snapshot to Slack
Every morning, joins yesterday's Vercel and infrastructure spend against the count of active paying accounts in BigQuery.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerDaily schedule after billing settles
- ActionPull yesterday's Vercel spendVercel
- ActionQuery infra cost + active account countBigQuery
- LogicCompute cost-per-account and gross margin
- OutputPost margin snapshot to SlackSlack
What it does
Produces a single daily readout of unit economics: total cloud spend, active account count, cost per active account, and blended gross margin. It lands in Slack before the team's standup so finance and eng leadership start the day with a shared number.
When to use it
Use it when cloud spend is material to margin and you want a recurring, no-click pulse instead of pulling a dashboard. Ideal for early-stage SaaS where one runaway region or a usage spike can quietly erode margin.
How it works
- 1A scheduled trigger fires each morning after billing data settles.
- 2Pull yesterday's Vercel spend (compute, bandwidth, function invocations) via the Vercel API.
- 3Query BigQuery for total infra cost and the count of active paying accounts for the same day.
- 4A compute step joins the two sides: cost per account and gross margin against recognized revenue.
- 5Post a formatted summary card to the finance Slack channel with day-over-day deltas.
