Bitrise now lets workspace owners set automatic alerts when their team’s infrastructure usage exceeds predefined budget thresholds. This feature helps platform pricing customers monitor and control their CI/CD infrastructure costs in real-time.
The problem this solves
Infrastructure costs can accumulate silently during development cycles, and teams often discover budget overruns too late. This reactive approach leads to unexpected expenses and difficult conversations with finance teams.
How it works
The Infrastructure Budget Alert system monitors your usage throughout your billing cycle. As a workspace owner, you define a monthly threshold that aligns with your budget constraints, and Bitrise will automatically notify you when usage reaches that level.
Key details:
- Threshold monitoring aligns with your actual billing cycle (reset happens on your billing date)
- Daily evaluation occurs at UTC midnight
- Notifications are sent to your configured channels (Slack, email, etc.)
- Alert parameters include customizable threshold amounts in your account currency
When to use this feature
This capability is specifically designed for workspace owners who are responsible for:
- Managing fixed infrastructure budgets across multiple teams or projects
- Monitoring resource utilization before limits are reached
- Tracking usage trends across billing periods to justify resource allocation
- Receiving early warnings to adjust workflow configurations before exceeding limits
Setup instructions
- Navigate to Insights → Alerts in your Bitrise dashboard (workspace owner access required)
- Click “Create alert” and select “Infrastructure budget” as the metric type
- Set your desired monthly threshold (e.g., $2,000)
- Configure conditions (typically “When the metric is above or equal”)
- Add notification channels where alerts should be sent
- Name your alert and click “Create”
Happy building!
