• Track resource usage in our own DB - cloud billing APIs lag 24-48hrs and we need real-time data for user dashboards
• Write start/stop events when enclaves launch/terminate, including cloud resource ID so we can reconcile later
• Hourly cron aggregates running time per user into billing summaries
• We set our own pricing tiers - cloud costs are our problem, customers pay our rates
• Use Paddle as payment processor (Stripe unavailable in Cayman Islands) - they handle tax compliance as Merchant of Record
• Report metered usage to Paddle monthly, they invoice customers
• Cloud provider APIs (AWS Cost Explorer etc) only used for monthly sanity checks - verify we didn't miss any stop events or have orphaned resources
• Abstract cloud-specific stuff behind a trait so billing logic doesn't care which provider
• Billing runs as separate service/worker - isolated from main API
