Exactly! And as the boundaries between specializations like backend, frontend, embedded, and data science are going away, developers can express their creativity on an entirely new level. Generalists will thrive in the future!

Internal usage is basically Cloud Unit Economics: https://www.finops.org/wg/introduction-cloud-unit-economics You treat infra teams as providers and price-in their services. For example you may price Compute team by &q

Very cool, thanks for sharing. I like this reporting approach, once you have the usage data aggregated somewhere a state machine is a great way to report usage to Stripe. Do you trigger the Inngest billing fan out end of the month CRON styl

I think it's substantial risk for the core business. To be able to glue usage to invoice, Orb has to become the source of truth and billing engine top of Stripe, while Stripe is still the payment gateway. This creates a fragmented worl

Those are all solid products for billing. Tough none of them are both open-source and have the scalability of streaming aggregation. Even Lago is AGPL which can be challenging for some.

That's a great insight, thanks for sharing. Would it be the ideal solution code / config driven, something like: SELECT user, SUM(runtime) FROM usage => invoice_template(Z) Wdyt? Btw how do you handle idempotency with time seri

I like the idea of meter all primary business executions by default and pick what you want to use later. This is useful if you want to do cost analysis, iterate on pricing, etc. Would you track API calls by default like a usage-based third-
