A terminal-based CLI tool that audits AWS accounts for security, cost anomalies, and best practices.
aws-doctor is a terminal-based health check tool for AWS accounts built with Golang. It diagnoses cost anomalies, detects idle resources, and provides proactive analysis of cloud infrastructure, serving as a free alternative to paid AWS Trusted Advisor recommendations.
Cloud architects, DevOps engineers, and FinOps practitioners who need to monitor AWS spending efficiency and identify wasteful resources. It is particularly useful for teams managing multiple AWS accounts or those without access to AWS Trusted Advisor's paid tier.
Developers choose aws-doctor because it automates routine manual checks, provides fair cost comparisons by analyzing identical time windows, and generates professional PDF reports for stakeholder sharing. Its open-source nature and support for selective service scanning offer a customizable, cost-effective alternative to proprietary tools.
