The Billable Usage API: programmatic cost visibility for Cloudflare

4 hours ago

Cloudflare launches a Billable Usage API for self-serve accounts, providing programmatic cost and usage visibility per product and service period.
The API covers all usage-based Cloudflare products (Workers, R2, D1, Workers AI, Vectorize, Images, Stream) with a single endpoint call.
Usage and cost data are updated daily, with plans for more real-time data in the future.
Response fields align with the FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS) for easier integration with cost management tools.
Cloudflare partners with Vantage to enable native integration, allowing cross-provider cost reporting, anomaly detection, and FinOps agent support.
The API addresses the need for programmatic visibility as agents autonomously deploy and manage Cloudflare resources.
Future plans include finer-grained time windows, forecasting, and Enterprise contract support.

Track metrics using your existing database without managing infrastructure.
Use a single API call to track counters, revenue, hierarchical data across Ruby, Elixir, and Go.
Trifle ecosystem includes core library (Stats), dashboard/app, and CLI for terminal or AI agents.

Cloudflare announces the Monetization Gateway, enabling customers to charge for assets like web pages, datasets, APIs, or MCP tools.
It provides a control plane for payment policies and access controls, handling verification and enforcement at the edge, with payments settling in stablecoins via the x402 protocol.
The web's traditional ad/subscription model is breaking as AI agents become dominant users, driving need for usage-based pricing for requests, tokens, or outcomes.

Codapult provides a ready-to-use SaaS foundation with modules like auth, payments, teams, admin, AI, SSO, and infrastructure, allowing customization and scaling without rebuilding.
It includes full source code for flexibility, enabling changes to architecture, provider swaps, self-hosting, and avoiding vendor lock-in.
The stack is production-ready with folder structure, UI, payments, auth, docs, tests, deployment, and observability set up out of the box.

Infrawrench provides a unified interface to manage 25+ cloud providers and hundreds of resource types, with automatic discovery and sync every 30 seconds.
Launch full SSH terminals directly from Infrawrench without external clients; desktop runs locally, cloud app proxies via WebSocket.
Browse and manage Kubernetes clusters: exec into pods, stream logs, import YAML, edit configs; web app proxies exec sessions.

IdpFlare is a self-hosted Identity Provider that can be deployed on Cloudflare Workers.
It offers OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0, social logins, MFA, an admin dashboard, and management APIs.
Deployment is quick using Git, Wrangler commands, and npm, with live hosting on a custom domain.
