Most people who open CloudZero care about one slice of the spend, like their team, their product, or their region. A View gives them that slice in one click, with the grouping and filters already set, so nobody has to rebuild the same Explorer query every week.

Before you can answer whether checkout will survive Black Friday, you need a test you can rerun. In this demo, we used a coding agent and the Speedscale skills to record a Node app, mock its downstream API, and run a 30-second load test with 10 virtual users. That’s a small first step in holiday readiness. It gives you a working test and a result to inspect, with time left to fix what you find before a code freeze.
