Just witnessed an internal @polar_sh demo of our new usage metering engine.
3,750× faster than today. A 99.97% reduction in latency.
Coming very soon.

After the web 2.0 days there has been little to no consumer focus amongst startups.
But I think it’s time again.
Talk to anyone outside of our tech bubble, and it feels like there is an enormous gap between how we see it vs how consumers leverage it.

to put in simple terms…
if most billing systems are still waiting for the kettle to boil, Polar’s metering already has the tea poured.

Undersold it btw.
This is metering in production across Vercel Functions (lambda) at 5,000 requests/s.
Within 3ms events are ingested, reduced to their meter, pushed across subscribing nodes and read to protect guardrails and balance checks 🏎️
… and we’re just getting started

Working on a technical piece on how @polar_sh is building the fastest metering infrastructure for AI.
What do you want to know?
Introducing: The next evolution of Polar ✨
We’re building the most ambitious metering & billing substrate for AI software.
— Events as the core primitive. A blazing fast, local-first reducer architecture to achieve zero latency metering & entitlement resolution.
— Your business as a definition, version controlled & native to agentic workflows.
— Definition branching for simulating pricing changes, model forecasts & easy deployment to production.
— Signals as business guardrails. Switch to a cheaper AI model when customer’s credits run below a threshold.
— Identities as nested entities under the Customer model. Built for agents & services acting on behalf of the customer.
Coming soon.

Been vibe coding my own financial dashboard this weekend that fetches bank accounts, stocks, currencies etc.
Paired with setting budgets, flagging anomalies, bad subscriptions and more. Plus MCP to chat with my data.
Why haven’t I done this sooner? It’s glorious.

Few things as satisfying as having to do a task that would have required quite a bit of manual, tedious, effort only 1-2 years ago, but can be automated away with a prompt in 10 minutes.

It’s begun.
The season where Swedish developers go into their fiber-connected caves for 6 months of darkness outside.
Can’t wait to see what will ship. glhf
