Overview

CloudLens is a serverless AWS cost monitoring dashboard that quickly detects unexpected cost increases. Built with AWS-native services, CloudLens delivers real-time cost visibility through simple charts and time-based filtering while maintaining enterprise-grade security and minimal operational overhead.

Background

I used to check AWS costs through Cost Explorer in the AWS Management Console. This was tedious—I had to log in, open Cost Explorer, and filter the data each time. I wanted quick access whenever I needed to check costs, ideally from my mobile device.
