From raw event to finished invoice

Four stages, no spreadsheets, and a line-level audit trail from the invoice back to the events that produced it.

The pipeline

What happens between your server and their invoice

Events cross this continuously — Tessera meters on arrival rather than sweeping up overnight.

Events arrive over the REST API, a batch import, or a stream. Each carries an idempotency key, so a retry storm from your side never double-counts on ours. Nothing is queued for later — the event is durable before the call returns.

Metering

See usage the second it happens, not the morning after

Tessera ingests, deduplicates and aggregates on arrival. Customers watch usage climb in real time, and your team stops discovering billing problems at month end.

  • Idempotency keys deduplicate retries automatically
  • Late events land in the period they belong to
  • Every aggregate traces back to its source events

Pricing models

Ship a new pricing model without shipping code

Tiers, volume breaks, prepaid credits, seats, minimums and overages are configured in the dashboard and versioned like anything else in your stack.

  • Simulate any change against last month’s real usage
  • Customers stay pinned to their contracted version
  • Roll a model back without touching an invoice

Invoicing

Hand finance an invoice they don’t have to check

Every line traces back to the events that produced it, so a disputed charge is answered in seconds rather than reconstructed from logs.

  • Drill from any line down to individual events
  • Restatements are versioned and explainable
  • Push to Stripe, NetSuite, or your own system

One call, and usage starts metering

No agent to run, no schema to migrate. The SDK is a thin wrapper over one REST endpoint.

import { Tessera } from '@tessera/sdk';

const tessera = new Tessera(process.env.TESSERA_KEY);

await tessera.events.record({
  event: 'api.request',
  account: 'acct_8fd2c1',
  quantity: 1,
  idempotencyKey: req.id,
});

“The audit trail is the part that sold us. Finance stopped asking engineering to explain invoices, which gave us back about a day a week.”
