Show HN: CLI to estimate Cloudflare bill before it surprises you (github.com)

A new command-line interface (CLI) called "flareclerk" has been launched to help Cloudflare users estimate their billing costs, providing real-time usage statistics for various Cloudflare services such as Workers, R2 storage, D1 databases, and AI inference. By installing the CLI with a simple npm command, users can authenticate their accounts without needing additional configuration and access detailed breakdowns of their usage and associated costs. The CLI commands are versatile, allowing users to get summaries or granular detail based on specific resources. This tool is significant for the AI and machine learning community as it empowers developers to manage and optimize their expenses related to Cloudflare's computing power, particularly for services involving Workers AI, which involves costs based on model inferences. With comprehensive insights available through the Cloudflare GraphQL Analytics API, flareclerk’s functionality includes time-specific queries and JSON output support, making it easy for users to track their spending patterns and adjust resource usage accordingly. This not only improves cost transparency but also aids in better budget management, helping users avoid unexpected billing surprises.
