The Bilbao Story
Why we built the future of FinOps monitoring
Our story is about building clear, real-time visibility for cloud costs—no fluff, just focus.
It was a Tuesday in Bilbao when I got the AWS bill. $847.23 for a service I thought I'd shut down months ago. A zombie instance, quietly eating away at my budget while I was flying blind.
That moment changed everything. I realized that every developer, every startup, every company using cloud services was facing the same problem: we had no real-time visibility into our costs.
Traditional FinOps tools were built for enterprises. They were slow, expensive, and required a team of analysts to interpret. But the cloud moves fast. Costs can spike in minutes, not days.
Why We Built Sonar
We built Sonar because we believe that every developer deserves real-time cost visibility. Not next week. Not tomorrow. Right now.
Sonar is the result of hundreds of hours talking to developers, founders, and FinOps teams. We learned that what they needed wasn't another dashboard—it was instant awareness of cost anomalies, intelligent alerts that actually prevent surprises, and granular trackingthat shows exactly where every dollar goes.
Our Mission
To make FinOps monitoring as simple and powerful as the tools we use to build. To stop the $0.05 zombie assets before they become $500 surprises. To give you the confidence to scale without fear.
Welcome to Sonar. Stop flying blind.
