Quickstart
Connect your first cloud provider and see spend data in under 10 minutes.
This quickstart gets you connected to Quper as fast as possible. You will have live spend data and your first AI recommendations before you finish your coffee.
Estimated time: 10 minutes. All you need is a Quper account and admin access to at least one cloud provider or data platform.
Steps
Sign in to Quper
Log in to your Quper workspace using your credentials or your company's SSO provider. If you don't have an account yet, book a demo to get access.
Connect your first integration
From the left sidebar, go to Settings → Integrations and select your cloud provider or data platform.
Quper connects to AWS via an IAM Role. Click Connect AWS, then follow the CloudFormation template link to create a read-only IAM role in your account. Paste the Role ARN back into Quper to complete the connection.
Quper connects to GCP via a Service Account. Click Connect GCP, download the provided setup script, and run it in your Google Cloud Shell. The script creates a service account with Billing Viewer permissions and returns a credentials JSON to paste into Quper.
Quper connects to Azure via App Registration. Click Connect Azure, follow the guided App Registration steps in the Azure Portal, and paste your Tenant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret into Quper.
Quper connects to Snowflake via a dedicated read-only user. Click Connect Snowflake, run the provided SQL commands in your Snowflake console to create the user and role, and paste your account identifier and credentials into Quper.
Quper connects to Databricks via a Personal Access Token. Click Connect Databricks, generate a token in your Databricks workspace under User Settings → Access Tokens, and paste it into Quper along with your workspace URL.
Quper connects to BigQuery via a Service Account. Click Connect BigQuery, create a service account in Google Cloud IAM with BigQuery Data Viewer and Job User roles, download the key JSON, and upload it to Quper.
Quper uses read-only access only. No write permissions are ever requested or required.
Wait for initial data ingestion
After connecting, Quper begins pulling your billing and usage data. Initial ingestion takes 15–30 minutes depending on account size and how much historical data is available.
You will see a progress indicator in the Integrations panel while ingestion is running. Quper automatically pulls the last 90 days of historical data on first connection.
Explore your Spend Overview
Once data is ready, navigate to Observe → Spend Overview. You will see:
Total spend this week vs. last week
Spend breakdown by service, account, and region
Top services by cost
Any anomalies detected during initial ingestion
If Quper detected cost anomalies in your historical data, they will appear in the Detect → Anomalies feed immediately.
