Spend Overview

Get a complete breakdown of every dollar spent across your cloud — in real time.

Spend Overview is Quper's unified cost dashboard. It gives you a complete, real-time picture of what you are spending across every connected cloud provider and data platform — broken down by service, account, region, team, and tag.

What you can do in Spend Overview

• See your total spend at a glance — current week, month, quarter, or custom date range
• Compare spend periods — week-over-week, month-over-month, or against any historical window
• Drill down by dimension — filter by cloud provider, service, account, region, resource tag, or team
• View daily and hourly resolution — see exactly when spend spiked and which service drove it
• Spot anomalies inline — active cost anomalies are surfaced directly in the spend chart with markers
• Export data — download spend breakdowns as CSV for finance and stakeholder reporting

Spend breakdown dimensions

Quper organises your cloud spend by the following dimensions. You can filter and group by any combination:

Dimension	Description
Provider	The cloud provider or data platform (AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery)
Account / Project	The billing account, GCP project, or Azure subscription
Service	The specific cloud service (e.g. EC2, Cloud Storage, Azure SQL)
Region	The geographic region where the resource runs
Resource	The individual resource instance (where available)
Tag	Any resource tag or label applied in your cloud environment
Team	A team-level attribution based on Quper governance policies

Reading the spend chart

The main chart in Spend Overview shows your daily spend as a bar chart. Each bar represents one day of total spend across all connected platforms.

• Blue bars — normal spend within expected range
• Red markers — days with active anomalies detected by Quper
• Dotted line — your average daily spend over the selected period (run rate)

Hover over any bar to see a breakdown of that day's spend by service or dimension.

Top Services by spend

Below the chart, Quper displays a ranked list of your top cost drivers for the selected period. Each service shows:

• Total spend in the period
• Percentage of total spend
• Trend vs. previous period (up, down, or flat)
• An indicator if an anomaly is currently active on that service

Click any service to drill into its cost history and resource-level breakdown.

Filters and saved views

Use the filter bar at the top of Spend Overview to narrow the view by any dimension. You can combine multiple filters — for example, filtering to a specific AWS account in us-east-1 with the tag team:data-engineering.

Save frequently used filter combinations as Saved Views for quick access. Saved Views can be made private (personal) or shared with your team.

Limitations

• Spend data is updated every 24 hours for cloud provider billing, and every hour for real-time usage signals
• Historical data is available for the last 12 months after initial connection. Data older than 12 months is available on request
• Resource-level attribution (down to individual EC2 instances or queries) requires resource-level tagging to be enabled in your cloud environment
