How CostCanvas is built

A clear, high-level picture of how we treat your uploads, how the service runs, and why we keep the moving parts small: trustworthy for operators and easy to inspect.

Principles

  • You bring the file. Your dashboard is built from the billing spreadsheets you choose to upload, so what you see aligns with exports you already control.
  • Upload-only from your side. We do not connect from our servers into your cloud accounts to pull billing; there are no provider API credentials stored for that purpose in CostCanvas.
  • Server-rendered experience. Analysis runs on the server; your browser receives the finished interface. No rich client-side database or ad tracking stack.

Lifecycle of an upload

At a glance, each session looks like this:

Secure browser upload Receive & validate Parse & analyze Prepare results Dashboard in your session

Runs in a container behind modern HTTPS; routine health checks keep the platform honest. Details on retention and hosting: Privacy.

Technology surface

Python Web app + WSGI Data stack (pandas family) Spreadsheet readers Container image EU production region

Familiar, portable ingredients so teams can self-host or review the deployment model without a proprietary runtime.

How we operate it

Single active unit today. We scale the app as one coherent instance so a given upload and its dashboard stay tied together. Fanning out to many parallel instances would need shared session state first.

Short-lived file handling. Incoming files support processing; CostCanvas is not sold as a long-term billing archive.

Config & transport. Settings are supplied through the host environment; traffic is encrypted to the edge.
