How does it help with API costs?

It identifies high-frequency endpoints and suggests implementation patterns like response caching, request batching, and payload compression to reduce billable API volume.

How does this skill identify license savings?

It analyzes user login activity and transaction history to identify accounts that have been inactive for 30 or 90 days, recommending deactivation or downgrades to read-only roles.

Can this skill automatically change my Guidewire infrastructure?

No, it provides data-driven analysis and specific recommendations based on utilization metrics, allowing developers to review and apply infrastructure changes manually.

Does it support Guidewire's proprietary Gosu language?

Yes, it includes specialized Gosu patterns for managing database storage, archiving old claims, and purging audit logs within the Guidewire environment.

What permissions are required to use these cost-tuning tools?

You generally need access to the Guidewire Cloud Console billing reports and the ability to run usage metric queries via the platform APIs.

Cloud Infrastructure

Optimizes Guidewire Cloud Platform expenses through automated license management, API efficiency auditing, and resource right-sizing.

About

The Guidewire Cost Tuning skill provides specialized tools for managing and reducing Guidewire Cloud Platform (GWCP) operational costs. It automates the analysis of user activity to identify reclaimable licenses, audits API traffic to recommend caching or batching patterns, and evaluates compute metrics to find right-sizing opportunities. By leveraging both TypeScript for cloud orchestration and Gosu for database-level storage optimization, this skill empowers teams to implement FinOps best practices directly within their Guidewire development lifecycle, ensuring infrastructure remains cost-effective as it scales.
