Overview

A serverless billing library that seamlessly integrates Stripe payment processing with AWS API Gateway usage tracking. Designed for SaaS applications with tiered pricing models, providing automatic plan transitions based on payment status and real-time usage reporting.

Key Features

• 🎯 Usage-Based Billing - Track API usage and automatically bill based on consumption
• 💳 Stripe Integration - Complete payment processing with subscriptions and metered billing
• 🔄 Automatic Plan Transitions - Move users between free and paid tiers based on payment status
• 📊 Real-Time Usage Reporting - Hourly synchronization with Stripe for accurate billing
• 🏗️ Clean Architecture - Ports & adapters pattern for maintainable, testable code
• 🚀 Serverless Ready - Optimized for AWS Lambda with minimal cold start overhead
• 🛡️ Production Hardened - Retry logic, circuit breakers, and comprehensive error handling

Quick Start

Installation

pip install augint-billing-lib

Basic Usage

from augint_billing_lib import bootstrap

# Process a Stripe webhook event
result = bootstrap.process_event_and_apply_plan_moves({
    "type": "payment_method.attached",
    "data": {"object": {"customer": "cus_123"}}
})

# Report usage to Stripe
reports = bootstrap.report_current_hour_usage()

CLI Commands

# Show environment configuration
poetry run ai-billing env-dump

# Handle Stripe events locally
poetry run ai-billing handle-event --file tests/fixtures/setup_intent.succeeded.json

# Report usage to Stripe
poetry run ai-billing sync-usage

# Monitor Zero-Touch operations
poetry run ai-billing monitor dashboard

# Check infrastructure status
poetry run ai-billing infra status

Architecture

The library follows a Ports & Adapters (Hexagonal) architecture pattern:

graph TB
    subgraph "Core Domain"
        BS[BillingService]
        M[Models]
    end

    subgraph "Ports (Interfaces)"
        SP[StripePort]
        USP[UsageSourcePort]
        CRP[CustomerRepoPort]
        PAP[PlanAdminPort]
    end

    subgraph "Adapters (Implementations)"
        SA[StripeAdapter]
        UA[APIGatewayUsageAdapter]
        DRA[DynamoDBRepoAdapter]
        PAA[APIGatewayAdminAdapter]
    end

    subgraph "External Systems"
        S[Stripe API]
        AG[API Gateway]
        DD[DynamoDB]
    end

    BS --> SP
    BS --> USP
    BS --> CRP
    BS --> PAP

    SP -.-> SA
    USP -.-> UA
    CRP -.-> DRA
    PAP -.-> PAA

    SA --> S
    UA --> AG
    DRA --> DD
    PAA --> AG

Core Components

• BillingService - Orchestrates billing operations and business logic
• Ports - Abstract interfaces defining external dependencies
• Adapters - Concrete implementations for AWS and Stripe
• Bootstrap - Dependency injection and Lambda handler setup

Billing Flows

1. Card Attachment → Plan Promotion

When a user adds a payment method:

1. Stripe sends payment_method.attached event
2. Service ensures metered subscription exists
3. API key moves from FREE_10K to METERED usage plan
4. DynamoDB updated with new plan status

2. Payment Failure → Plan Demotion

When payment fails:

1. Stripe sends invoice.payment_failed event
2. Service cancels metered subscription
3. API key moves back to FREE_10K usage plan
4. User continues with free tier limits

3. Hourly Usage Reporting

Every hour:

1. Lambda triggered by CloudWatch schedule
2. Fetches usage from API Gateway for all metered users
3. Calculates delta from last reported checkpoint
4. Reports usage to Stripe with idempotency
5. Updates DynamoDB with new checkpoint

Configuration

Required Environment Variables

# CloudFormation stack identifier
STACK_NAME=augint-billing-prod

# AWS region for resources
AWS_REGION=us-east-1

# Stripe authentication (use one)
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_...
# OR
STRIPE_SECRET_ARN=arn:aws:secretsmanager:...

Optional Environment Variables

# DynamoDB table name (default: {STACK_NAME}-customer-links)
TABLE_NAME=billing-customer-links

# API Gateway usage plan IDs
FREE_USAGE_PLAN_ID=FREE_10K        # Default free tier plan
METERED_USAGE_PLAN_ID=METERED      # Default paid tier plan

# API Gateway product ID (auto-discovered if not set)
API_USAGE_PRODUCT_ID=prod_123

Development

Setup

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/svange/augint-billing-lib.git
cd augint-billing-lib

# Install dependencies
poetry install

# Run tests
make test              # Unit tests only
make test-integration  # Integration tests
make test-e2e         # End-to-end tests
make test-all         # All tests

# Code quality
poetry run pre-commit run --all-files

Testing Strategy

The library uses a "Mock at the Boundaries" approach:

• Unit tests mock external services (Stripe, AWS)
• Integration tests use real adapters with mocked APIs
• E2E tests validate complete workflows
