Case Study: Cribl saves thousands of development hours with Metronome

Cribl saves thousands of development hours with Metronome

Cribl, an infrastructure company and leader in open observability, was preparing to launch its cloud product, Cribl.Cloud, with a new consumption-based pricing model. To support real-time, usage-based billing and integrate with existing finance and accounting workflows, the team turned to Metronome instead of building a billing system in-house.

Metronome provided a deeply integrated pricing and billing infrastructure that powered Cribl’s customer-facing dashboards, internal reporting, and business system integrations across tools like Segment, Looker, Snowflake, and Salesforce. With Metronome, Cribl says it saved 1000+ development hours and 3–4 engineering headcount, while enabling pricing changes in minutes and giving both developers and business teams easier access to billing data.
