Stripe Just Wants a Number

Billing can be a complex and often overlooked part of the tech stack, but at exe, an innovative approach has been developed to streamline and simplify this process. Traditionally, billing logic was intertwined with business logic, leading to brittle and difficult-to-maintain systems. By introducing the concept of "billable facts," exe allows product events to indicate changes that may require billing adjustments, thereby decoupling billing from the main business operations. This method involves using atomic operations that reconcile billing after changes have occurred, rather than relying on scattered API calls throughout the code. This new approach not only scales well as exe grows but also makes billing more accessible to team members, allowing changes to be made without disrupting the onboarding of new users or existing billing processes. By maintaining flexibility in the billing architecture, the team can focus on integrating new billing methods and reconciling these with various APIs, ultimately making billing a more manageable and collaborative task.
