Devzero features

  • Real-time cost monitoring. Shows CPU, memory, GPU usage and cost attribution per department.
  • Workload right-sizing. Adjusts CPU, memory and GPU requests per pod to match actual demand.
  • Live migration. Instantly moves pods without restarts using checkpoint-restore.
  • Spot & GPU optimization. Selects lowest-cost instances and manages spot and GPU resources.
  • Multi-cloud support. Works with AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, OpenShift and on-prem Kubernetes.
  • Inference optimization (beta). Measures LLM traffic and routes requests to the cheapest model with caching and failover.

Task Badger features

  • Task progress tracking. Shows real-time percentage and status of each asynchronous job.
  • Silent failure detection. Immediately alerts when a task fails, stalls, or never starts.
  • Persistent history & trends. Keeps historical data for analysis and trend spotting.
  • Configurable alerts. Sends notifications via Slack, email or webhooks on task events.
