description: >-
  FinOps framework definition for the Gitea API surface. Provides a
  FOCUS-aligned mapping for cost allocation, usage measurement, and
  unit-economics reporting across the Gitea Enterprise per-user
  subscription and the Gitea Cloud single-tenant managed offering.
  The pure open-source Gitea distribution carries no software cost;
  FinOps reporting on OSS deployments is limited to underlying
  infrastructure (compute, storage, network) and operational labour.
principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: >-
      Make Gitea Enterprise license costs and Gitea Cloud subscription
      costs visible to engineering, platform, and finance teams in
      near real-time, including add-on charges (Object Storage) and
      outbound network traffic.
  - name: Allocation
    description: >-
      Tag every chargeable Gitea resource (Cloud instance, Enterprise
      seat, Object Storage add-on, runner consumption) with the
      consuming team, environment, application, and cost centre so
      cost can be allocated.
  - name: Optimization
    description: >-
      Continuously evaluate user counts, Cloud tier selection,
      retention policies on packages and artifacts, and Actions
      runner utilization to reduce cost per useful unit of work.
  - name: Accountability
    description: >-
      Establish budget owners for the Gitea instance, Actions usage,
      and package storage. Implement chargeback or showback flows for
      each consuming team.
