### Problem

Building your own usage metering is painful and risky. Queues, retries, idempotency, aggregations, and integration with payment providers — one mistake can mean under-billing or costly refunds.

### Solution

UsoMeter collects events, aggregates them in real time, and syncs directly to billing. You keep building your product, while we handle usage and invoices.

#### High Risk

Revenue loss from billing errors

#### Months of Work

Complex infrastructure to build

#### Reliable by Design

Built on Kafka + ClickHouse backbone.

## Developer-first API

One line to send usage — after a 60-second setup

SDK Integration

```
// npm install @usometer/node
import { UsoMeter } from "@usometer/node";

const uso = new UsoMeter({
  apiKey: process.env.USOMETER_API_KEY!
});

// Report usage event
await uso.usage.report({
  customerId: "cust_123",
  meter: "api_requests",
  value: 1,
  properties: { endpoint: "/api/data" },
  idempotencyKey: "req-9f3a1a..." // prevents double-counting on retries
});
```

💡 **Pro tip:** Use an idempotency key for retried events. Properties let you segment by endpoint, model, region, or any custom dimension.
