I like the idea of meter all primary business executions by default and pick what you want to use later. This is useful if you want to do cost analysis, iterate on pricing, etc.

Would you track API calls by default like a usage-based third-party (OpenAI API, Twilio, etc.)? Or your own web server (Lambda, Next.js etc)? Or both.

We do both, services as well as a mix of serverless and on-demand servers we spin up. I would also like this to have the SaaS usage sprawl bundled into this, e.g. emails, notifs, and SaaS tools with expanding usage tiers,
Cool, thanks for sharing it. Would you use SaaS usage for cost analysis or to charge your own customers for shared resources?
