Practical guides for AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, tagging, allocation, and small-team FinOps.
Tovin.io guides walk engineering-led teams through cloud cost workflows on AWS, GCP, and DigitalOcean: budget alerts, tagging strategy, untagged-spend cleanup, project-level allocation, and small-team FinOps without enterprise tooling.

ReadMost teams open ‘FinOps for small teams’ first to size the weekly review motion, then jump to the provider-specific allocation guide for the cloud they own most spend on (AWS, GCP, or DigitalOcean).
No. Several guides cover allocation under imperfect tags — account ownership, regex rules, Kubernetes namespace, and an explicit unallocated bucket — so you can ship a useful project view this week and improve tags next quarter.
Yes. Every workflow assumes one project may span AWS, GCP, and DigitalOcean, and DigitalOcean is treated as a first-class cloud, not an afterthought.
