Today's Mission: From Free-for-All to Fair-Pay

We're building the financial engine that powers multi-billion dollar SaaS platforms. Today you'll implement usage tracking and billing that rivals AWS CloudWatch pricing, Datadog's log management costs, and Splunk's enterprise billing systems.
Your distributed log platform now serves multiple tenants. Without proper usage tracking and billing, you're essentially running a charity. Today we transform your platform into a revenue-generating system with precise usage metering and automated billing.

What We're Building Today

Core System Components:

Real-time usage collector tracking every log byte ingested
Billing engine calculating costs across multiple pricing dimensions
Automated report generation with drill-down analytics
Usage-based quota enforcement preventing overuse
Professional billing dashboard with export capabilities
