Recost: API Cost Visibility and Optimization Tool
By
Donggyu Yoon
Yesterday's bagel, baked twice. Familiar and a bit tough.
Summary
Recost is a tool that helps developers visualize and control API costs by mapping expenses to specific code endpoints, identifying wasteful patterns like duplicate calls and inefficient loops, and simulating the impact of scaling. It uses AST analysis and runtime tracking to provide cost visibility before bills become unmanageable.
