a dozen people
“Today, a dozen people, from engineers to executives, access cost data weekly through Dust.”

What happened
Dailymotion connected its infrastructure cost tool Costory to Dust so engineers, finance owners and executives can ask cloud and LLM cost questions in plain language. Answers come back with company context, replacing manual cost assembly and reliance on a few specialists.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Dust and Dailymotion, not ours.
Before Costory, getting a reliable number meant a full day of manual assembly: provider exports, internal tools, manual reconciliation, and only then could the analysis start. Now Raphaël types the question in Dust.
I want my engineers to think about cloud and LLM cost without slowing down. Costory lives in Dust, where my teams already work.
