The scariest button we ever shipped was the one that says fix it
I used to think the hard part of this was finding the wasted cloud spend. It isn't. A dashboard can do that. We had it working early and felt pretty good about ourselves.
Then a customer asked the question that stalled us for a month: "Okay, you found $40k of idle stuff. Now what, I go delete 200 resources by hand?"
That's the real problem. Finding waste is just a dashboard. Fixing it is a 2am incident waiting to happen. One wrong delete to save $12 a month and you've taken down production.
So we stopped building "find more waste" and spent a few weeks on the part nobody demos: making it safe to actually act. Here is what shipped in Zopnight.
Cost Anomaly Detection. Instead of a scary red number, Zopnight tells you why the bill moved. "Reservation expired, switched to On-Demand." "Schedule WorkHours may have failed." Nobody acts on an alert they don't understand.
Blast Radius. Before anything gets touched, ZopNight shows you what breaks. Delete a schedule and it doesn't just say "done". It shows the 15 servers that will now run 24/7 and your savings dropping from 42% to 0%, in real dollars. You see the damage before you cause it.
Auto-remediation. Zopnight runs 450+ checks across AWS, GCP and Azure, but every automatic fix stops at a human approval step. Nothing moves until someone says yes. We spent longer building that gate than we did building the fixes.
Governed MCP. You can now let an AI agent in Cursor or Claude Code start, stop and deploy through Zopnight. The rule is simple. An agent can never do more than the person whose token it is using, and writes are off by default. We wrote the risk into our own docs instead of hiding it.
Showback, the payoff. This is the part that finance guy actually asked for. Every dollar now rolls up to the team that spent it. Zopnight ties cost to real business numbers like cost per 1,000 orders or monthly active users, and it can even tell you who created each resource, pulled from your cloud activity logs. So every dollar has an owner.
Honestly, the hard part was never the finding. It was earning enough trust that a real team would let software touch their cloud at all.
If you want to poke at it, you can try Zopnight live in our Playground, no login needed: https://zop.dev/zopnight/playground
So where do you land? Would you let a tool or an AI agent auto-fix your infra, or does it always need a human on the button?
