ABAXUS Software: Your billing layer shouldn't be someone else's SaaS

In 2023 I was helping a $12M ARR dev tools company debug a billing discrepancy. Their events were double-counting on retries. Their aggregate dashboard was lagging real usage by 6 hours. Their support team couldn't explain charges to customers without querying the database directly. They were on Metronome. Here's what I kept seeing: every usage-based billing platform — Stripe, Metronome, Orb, Chargebee — is built on the same architectural assumption. Your events cross a network boundary to their API before anything gets metered. That boundary is invisible at low volume. At 10M+ events/month it becomes your throughput ceiling, your compliance risk, and the gap in your audit trail. ABAXUS eliminates the boundary. It deploys inside your Kubernetes cluster, co-located with your event sources. Every usage event, every aggregated meter, every invoice lives in your database — in your infrastructure. The billing engine is production-grade: idempotent ingestion, meter versioning, backfill handling, mid-period plan changes, automated invoicing. Who it's built for: - B2B SaaS teams ($5M–$100M ARR) that have outgrown cloud billing platform constraints - Dev tools, API companies, and observability platforms hitting rate limits or transaction fee ceilings - Healthtech SaaS where usage events carry PHI and a HIPAA BAA with your billing vendor is a real problem What we're offering early adopters: - 65% lifetime discount on all tiers — locked in as long as you stay a customer. 10 seats available. Happy to answer any questions about the architecture, the event ingestion model, or how this compares to Lago (the closest open-source alternative). AMA.
