Charging for what customers actually consume
Apache Camel and RabbitMQ connecting a private cloud provider’s billing system to its infrastructure management tooling.
01 — The challenge
Where it started.
The provider needed to bill on actual consumption — CPU, memory, storage and bandwidth — and the systems holding that consumption data were not the systems producing invoices.
Without a dependable link between the two, revenue is estimated rather than measured.
02 — What we built
The work itself.
Apache Camel between billing and infrastructure. Routes connecting the billing system to the cloud management tooling, with transformation handled in the integration layer rather than inside either system.
RabbitMQ carrying the metering. A message queue sized for the volume of metering events, so accuracy does not degrade under load.
03 — Results
What the client has now.
Customers billed accurately on real resource utilisation. Revenue streams optimised against measured consumption. Customer satisfaction improved by billing that matches usage.
