Architecture principles
Orb’s architecture is guided by three principles:- Accurate and auditable: Trace how each event contributes to billing, with resilience enabled by audit-safe amendments.
- Real-time scale: Event-based APIs—such as event ingestion—handle extremely high throughput and concurrent load. Orb also provides real-time event balances and a performant webhooks architecture.
- Flexible and extensible: A focus on extensibility with a custom SQL metrics layer and a custom pricing platform.
Integrating with Orb
Orb is quick to integrate, with a sandbox available for testing. Typical steps include:- Ingest events and build metrics so Orb continuously updates usage quantities.
- Model plans and pricing in the product catalog, linking metrics to your pricing logic.
- Provision subscriptions for each customer to track real-time usage and lifecycle, and use usage visibility to monitor accrued usage and account health.
- Configure invoicing and payments to automate charges and invoice delivery, reducing manual effort.
