    We built StripeMeter, an open-source usage metering platform that plugs directly into Stripe. It solves the classic SaaS pain of “why is my bill higher than expected?” by giving both developers and customers real-time usage tracking with live cost projections. Why it matters: - Transparency: Customers see exactly what Stripe will bill them (within 0.5% parity). - Exactly-once guarantee: No double billing, ever. - Fast & scalable: Sub-minute freshness with Redis + Postgres counters. We’d love feedback from SaaS builders, especially if you’ve struggled with Stripe’s metered billing. Does this…

    If you've built any web-based app in the last 15 years, you probably used something like Datadog, New Relic, Sentry, etc. to monitor and trace your app, right? Why should it be different when the app you're building happens to be using LLMs? So today we're open-sourcing OpenLLMetry-JS. It's an open protocol and SDK, based on OpenTelemetry, that provides traces and metrics for LLM JS/TS applications and can be connected to any of the 15+ tools that already support OpenTelemetry. Here's the repo: https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetry-js A few months ago we launched…

    Hey HN, Nir, Gal and Tomer here. We’re open-sourcing a set of extensions we’ve built on top of OpenTelemetry that provide visibility into LLM applications - whether it be prompts, vector DBs and more. Here’s the repo: https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetry. There’s already a decent number of tools for LLM observability, some open-source and some not. But what we found was missing for all of them is that they were closed-protocol by design, vendor-locking you to use their observability platform or their proprietary framework for running your LLMs. It’s still early in the…
