Case Study: Laravel achieves controlled usage-based billing at scale with Lago

Laravel manages 80 million monthly billing events with Lago

The customer Laravel, a developer infrastructure and cloud platform, faced the challenge of implementing a complex, usage-based billing system for its rapidly growing Laravel Cloud service. The platform needed to accurately process millions of infrastructure data points hourly and offer developers transparent, controllable costs, as uncertainty around variable spending was a key blocker to adoption. They turned to the vendor Lago for a solution.

Lago provided the billing infrastructure that enabled Laravel to automate its pricing as code, manage millions of usage events monthly, and implement crucial features like spending limits and credits. The solution processed around 80 million events per month, issuing tens of thousands of invoices. This allowed Laravel to scale its billing seamlessly from a $5 starter plan to enterprise workloads, supporting over 1 million deployments without manual intervention and giving developers full control over their usage-based costs.
