# Next steps

You've built a complete usage-based billing workflow on Orb—from event ingestion through metric definition, pricing configuration, subscription creation, and invoice generation.

## For product teams

* **Test pricing changes safely** — [Run simulations](/simulations/introduction) to model revenue impact before deploying. See exact invoice previews across your customer base.

* **Set up usage alerts** — [Configure usage alerting](/usage-alerting/overview) to trigger notifications when customers hit thresholds. Power product-led growth workflows.

## For finance teams

* **Automate revenue recognition** — [Configure revenue recognition](/revenue-reporting/revenue-recognition) rules and export data for financial reporting and compliance.

* **Handle enterprise deals** — [Configure backdated pricing](/enterprise/enterprise-billing) for contracts with retroactive terms. [Set up prepaid credits](/product-catalog/prepurchase) for upfront commits.

* **Export billing data** — [Connect data exports](/data-exports/introduction) to your data warehouse for analytics and forecasting.

## For engineering teams

* **Build custom metrics** — [Define advanced SQL metrics](/extensibility/advanced-metrics) for precise billing logic. Filter, aggregate, and transform events to match your pricing model.

* **Integrate webhooks** — [Set up webhooks](/integrations-and-exports/webhooks) for real-time notifications when invoices are generated or subscriptions change.

* **Understand the architecture** — Read the deep dives on [query-based billing](/architecture/query-based-billing) and [diff-based subscriptions](/architecture/billing-architecture) to understand how Orb works under the hood.

* **Scale event ingestion** — [Move to high-throughput ingestion](/events-and-metrics/high-throughput-ingestion) for workloads handling millions of events per second.
