What is Frugal?

Frugal is an Application Cost Engineering (ACE) platform that helps companies reduce cloud spend by optimizing inefficient application code.Unlike traditional FinOps tools focused on infrastructure rightsizing, Frugal analyzes source code alongside observability data and cloud bills to detect expensive application behaviors and then generates quality-assured pull requests with fixes.

Frugal automatically identifies costly patterns such as excessive metrics reporting, inefficient AI model calls, or wasteful database queries.By fixing code directly, Frugal reduces actual service consumption rather than shifting resources.
