ResourcePulse is a GitHub Action that reviews Azure infrastructure changes the moment they land in a pull request. It reads your Bicep and ARM templates, estimates the monthly Azure cost of every resource, checks each one against policy rules (region, SKU tier, required tags, public access, etc.), and posts a clean summary as a PR comment โ before anything gets merged or deployed.
Why it exists
Most teams discover Azure cost surprises in next month's invoice and policy violations during a security audit. Both happen weeks after the developer who introduced them has moved on. ResourcePulse shifts both checks left, into the PR review where the cost of fixing them is near zero.
What it does
Who it's for
Platform and DevOps teams running Azure who want cost and policy visibility on every infrastructure PR โ without standing up a full FinOps tool or writing custom Azure Policy.

ResourcePulse App's answer:
ResourcePulse is the only Azure-native tool that combines cost estimation, policy compliance, and AI-driven SKU recommendations into a single GitHub pull request comment. While Infracost focuses on Terraform and AWS, and tools like Azure Cost Management report after-the-fact, ResourcePulse meets developers where they already work โ the PR review โ and answers three questions at once: how much will this cost, does it follow our policies, and is there a smarter SKU? It speaks Bicep and ARM natively, including the SKU naming quirks that trip up most pricing lookups (StandardD4sv5 vs D4s v5, P1v3 vs P1 v3).
ResourcePulse App's answer:
Three reasons. First, it's built for Azure from day one โ Bicep, ARM, and Azure-specific edge cases (App Service v2 OS detection, Storage redundancy tiers, Cosmos throughput modes) are first-class, not bolted on. Second, it lives in the pull request, so cost and policy feedback arrives during the review when fixing is cheap, not weeks later on the invoice. Third, the AI SKU suggestion engine surfaces newer-generation alternatives with concrete savings ("$X/month per instance") โ turning passive cost reporting into actionable recommendations. It's also honest about its limits: consumption-based services like Functions executions and Cosmos RU/s are flagged as usage-dependent rather than fabricated.
ResourcePulse App's answer:
Platform engineers, DevOps engineers, and engineering leads at small-to-midsize teams (10โ500 developers) who run their Azure infrastructure as code with Bicep or ARM templates. They typically have a GitHub-based workflow, care about cloud cost predictability, and want governance without standing up a full FinOps platform or writing custom Azure Policy. Secondary audience: solo developers and consultancies managing multiple client Azure environments who need a quick, repeatable way to review cost impact on every change.
ResourcePulse App's answer:
ResourcePulse was born from a recurring frustration: watching the same pattern play out across multiple teams where someone merged a Bicep PR with StandardD8sv5 instead of StandardD2sv5, no reviewer caught it, and the bill landed a month later. Every post-mortem ended the same way: "we should have caught that in the PR." Existing tools either didn't speak Bicep, lived outside the developer workflow, or required setting up entire FinOps platforms for a problem that should be a 30-second comment on a pull request. ResourcePulse exists to make that comment automatic, accurate, and Azure-native โ closing the loop between "infrastructure changed" and "we knew what it would cost before we deployed it."
