Product Hunt Launch 🏆1st Developer Tool of the week and 2nd Product of the day

What's this blog post about?

In November 2023, OpenMeter was launched on Product Hunt and received significant community support, ranking as the top Developer Tool of the week and second Product of the day. The backstory behind OpenMeter originated from a realization while working at Stripe that there was a lack of standardization around metering usage data across different components. This led to challenges in collecting, aggregating, and analyzing usage data for good data quality. As APM metrics were not accurate enough and time series data storage was expensive, the team decided to develop a stream processing solution. OpenMeter's launch on Product Hunt highlighted these issues faced by companies with usage-based pricing, emphasizing challenges from engineering to finance and product to sales.
