Integrations
Connect Confluent in minutes
Create a read-only Cloud API key in Confluent. Finout pulls billing data via the Cost API and metadata via the Metrics API across every cluster, environment, and Stream Governance package you operate. Daily refresh; Confluent's 72-hour billing settlement is handled transparently.
Visibility
Understand Confluent costs
Confluent's Console shows you cluster-level cost. Finout breaks that down to the topic, the application, and the team - using pattern-based Virtual Tags so new topics auto- allocate. Stream Governance (Essentials vs Advanced) and Flink compute each get their own line.
Completeness
Bring Confluent into your data cost strategy
Confluent is one cost line. The services pushing into it and pulling out of it sit in AWS, GCP, Azure, and Snowflake. Finout pulls every line into one bill so a topic retention change and an S3 spike are obviously the same incident.
Detection
Be alerted when Confluent costs spike
The most expensive Confluent surprise is a retention misconfiguration on a high-throughput topic, or a Dedicated cluster left over-provisioned overnight. Finout's Anomaly Detection catches both — and runs on the live usage signal so you don't have to wait 72 hours for billing to settle.
Integrate with Finout
"With Finout we finally knew which team was driving our Cursor overage — and cut our premium-request bill by 40% in the first quarter."
