this is interesting and i've been poking at autumn for a little bit. and nice to see more billing in the oss. we started on a self hosted billing solution, but quickly realized that a single centralized (hosted) model was better for our particular use case (less to manage). curious if you're seeing the oss as a driver for trust or if folks are demanding this for some reason?

also a fan of a single state for billing, metering, and entitlements. any plans for a go sdk for these?

Thanks! Going oss was definitely about trust in the beginning -- people were more open to using the platform because they could see our codebase

Agreed that self-hosting billing can be a pain just cuz of how complex the whole system can be, which also means that it's prob p hard to debug / fix when something goes wrong. We don't see a lot of people self-hosting Autumn at the moment, but would be interesting to see that happen.

We've got a bunch of requests for a go sdk, so definitely on our roadmap to launch that soon!

DX is our bread and butter though, and we're fully focused on perfecting it for a single language (Typescript) before we start journeying into other languages!
