Super impressive demo. Seems a lot faster than alternatives. How did you achieve that?

From what I could gather from quick look this seems to targeted towards B2C applications, i.e. 1 customer has 1 user. In B2B cases there is often cases with "customer has entitlement to feature X, but only users A & B can use it, C cannot" (and in some cases users have access to multiple customers). Are you planning on adding this kind of support and are you planning on handling the role/user mapping yourself or just providing some integration points?
(just to be clear, not relevant in my case at this point, just something that was a bit messy to handle in something I worked with previously)
Yes! This actually extends beyond the concept of users. Eg people have similar problems when provisioning different access levels to different workspaces, or different compute instances. We use a concept called “entities” to handle this, where each entity is a sub account that lives under a customer. Each entity can they have its own set of features, meters and even subscriptions.
Connecting this all to auth systems is still a flow we’re hoping to make cleaner. It’s in early stages for now.

Sounds a lot like https://priceops.org/ , but Tier (Show HN: Tier.run – Terraform for Stripe https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33429972 ) seems to have shut down.
Any insight into why they failed and why you will be different?
Thanks for reminding me of these guys! I’ll reach out and see what I can learn.

What's the plan for monetization? Your license is Apache 2.0, which I'm not sure makes sense from having customers pay.
In contrast, Lago uses AGPL-3.0 and has an open-core model (not sure if the premium features are source available or not), which makes it more clearer on how they're going to make money.
We have a cloud version that we charge a flat fee for, and I think there’s enough people that don’t want to deal with self hosting for it to make sense. When we started out we just used the same licence as some other dev tools (like supabase).
