Quota

Real-time financial intelligence for your codebase.

---

Don't let hidden tech debts become a surprise bill.

Quota solves that. It allows developers to track and optimize resource costs like APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure directly within the engineering workflow.

By surfacing resource impact before shipping, Quota prevents budget overruns and ensures efficient scaling.

System Workflow

Key Features

VS Code Extension

Transforms the editor into a financial control center.

• Key Metrics: Live dashboard displays the cost origins and calculated value throughout the codebase, allowing you to fix it immediately.
• Real-Time Cost Heatmaps: Editor decorations highlight high-cost code blocks (e.g., heavy DB queries or legacy LLM calls) for immediate optimization.
• One-Click Optimization: Auto-detects inefficient resource patterns and suggests one-click refactors to cheaper alternatives.
• Bankruptcy Prevention: Live dashboard projects monthly burn rates based on user scale, alerting you before budget thresholds are breached.
• Intelligent Classification: Parses and prices resource usage across complex codebases using AST analysis.

Web Sandbox

Platform for architectural planning and cost forecasting.

• Architecture Designer: Drag-and-drop canvas for prototyping systems with built-in cost projections.
• Predictive Pricing: Estimates cloud and AI costs for designs before implementation.
• AI Architect Assistant: Intelligent agent that optimizes designs for latency and cost.
• AI Visualization: Automatically generates and visualizes interactive system architecture graphs from high-level descriptions.

Tech Stack

• Core: TypeScript, Python (FastAPI), Node.js, Go
• AI: Google Gemini Pro, Tree-sitter, LangChain (RAG)
• Frontend: Next.js, React Flow, Tailwind CSS
• Data: MongoDB, Vector embeddings (FAISS)

Design Process
