Developer metering
Meter usage before trying to monetise usage.
Developer usage economics depend on explicit metric definitions, authenticated usage events, quotas and approved rate cards.
Metric key
Define what is being measured: requests, documents, compute units, tokens, workflows or another explicit unit.
Usage event
Record project, API key, metric, quantity, unit, time and optional request reference.
Quota
Set daily or monthly limits and warning thresholds per project and metric.
Rate card
Only active approved rate-card entries can be used for commercial calculation.
Budget control
Compare measured usage economics against the project's monthly budget limit.
Transparency
Developers can see recorded usage and current quotas inside the Developer Console.
Important: this metering architecture does not mean every DataLgorithmics product exposes a public production API. Production availability must be explicitly documented for the relevant product.
