Hello from Omnistrate 👋

This is our platform update for March 2024! We are excited to share our progress towards building the Omnistrate Platform and the milestones we reached this month.

When building a billing system there are 3 main components to consider:

• Usage metering: Collect and aggregate usage data of the service.
• Invoice generation: Take usage data and generates invoices based on the customer plan.
• Payment management: Manages payments and receives funds using payment processors

When you are offering Software as a Service there are multiple options available on how to charge customers for the usage of your service. A couple popular models are Subscription Based and Usage Based.

Hello, and welcome to this blog of Control Plane!

Today, I'm going to explain the concept of control plane for software as a service (SaaS) world, and help you understand it better.

As entrepreneurs, we know that time and money are our most valuable assets. Imagine if we have a mechanism to test our ideas and validate them in no time without spending a fortune. Huh? -- that's interesting!

How Omnistrate can unburden you by managing a smart scaling system that works multi-cloud out of the box This is our first issue of a brand new Engineering series at Omnistrate.

Starting a business is tough, and it's no secret that many startups don't make it. Every founder faces big challenges like finding customers who love their product, making enough money to keep going, and convincing investors to believe in their vision.

Over the past year of relentless building, we’ve released a number of features in our platform that made it easy to build, access, and operate SaaS for our customers. We want to share with everyone what we have achieved so far.

Building SaaS is just one part of the challenge. Operating a SaaS is another major challenge. We will need fleet-wide observability on what tenant-level activity is happening in the fleet including any operational issues, assistance with debugging active issues like metrics and logging, ability to hot patch tenants, rollout security fixes in <24 hours. In addition, we will need reliable monitoring, recovery mechanisms to common issues with full auditing of events on what happened. In case, things are not recoverable for any reason, we will need a reliable alerting mechanism so that you can stay ahead of your customers and address the issues quickly.
