Shift-left cost insights have made teams question infrastructure changes in everyday reviews
The best features Infracost offers include shift-left visibility, so we see the impact before it actually happens, and we do not manually consult with cloud pricing each time, and we do not guess. We have precise information instead. It pulls the pricing difference and drops it in the code review interface. Having that precise information in the code review interface makes us question the changes. Infracost has positively impacted my organization by enhancing our engineering team's cost consciousness. We no longer treat the FinOps operations as something that we do at the end of the month. We do this regularly and this changes a lot for us, so this is super important.

Centralized API documentation has improved collaboration and reduces onboarding time
Overall, I have had a positive experience with ReadMe, but there are a few areas where I think it could improve. One is customization. While it is easy to create clean documentation, making deeper UI or layout customizations can be somewhat limiting without additional effort. Having more built-in customization options would help teams tailor the developer portal to their branding and documentation needs. I would also like to see more advanced analytics. It would be useful to have richer insights into which APIs are viewed most frequently, where developers spend the most time, and which document pages generate the most support requests. Those metrics could help us continuously improve our documentation. Another improvement would be the tighter integration with Git-based development workflows. While synchronizing documentation works well, making documentation updates, previews, and reviews even more seamless as part of the pull request process would improve the developer experience. All of these are not major issues. They are enhancements that would make an already solid platform even better. Overall, ReadMe has worked well for our API documentation needs. An additional improvement I would like to see is better support for documentation versioning and change tracking. In enterprise applications, APIs evolve over time, and having more intuitive tools to compare versions and clearly highlight changes would make it easier for both internal teams and external consumers to adopt new API versions. I would also appreciate more built-in collaboration features, such as richer review workflows or commenting capabilities for documentation changes before they are published. That would make it easier for developers, QA teams, and technical writers to review documentation together and keep it accurate. Other than those enhancements, I think ReadMe is an easy-to-use platform that has met our API documentation needs. I do not have any major concerns beyond the improvements I already mentioned.
