What it does

This workflow listens for budget-threshold alerts from your cloud provider. The moment one arrives, it parses which service or account breached, queries Axiom for the recent deploy and traffic changes on that service, and drops a structured triage message into a shared Slack channel so finance and engineering can react together in real time.

When to use it

Use it when budget alerts land in an inbox nobody watches and the overage is already hours old by the time someone notices. This shortens the gap between "budget breached" and "team looking at the cause" to minutes.

How it works

  1. 1The cloud budget service posts a threshold-breach webhook to the workflow.
  2. 2It parses the payload to extract the service, account, and overage amount.
  3. 3A filter drops duplicate or low-severity alerts so only real breaches proceed.
  4. 4It queries Axiom for the service's deploys and request volume over the last few hours.
  5. 5It posts a Slack thread to the finance-eng channel with the overage, the suspect change, and log links, tagging both on-call owners.
