CF-Abacus: Introduction to the Standard Metering and Aggregation Engine for Cloud Foundry
summary
CF-Abacus is a microservice pipeline that meters, accumulates, aggregates and rates Cloud Foundry usage into billable reports; it originates from Bluemix and runs as CF apps. Implementation uses Node.js and CouchDB/PouchDB (MongoDB optional), exposes REST APIs for service brokers to POST usage and to fetch reports, and already ships as release 0.0.5. It handles out‑of‑order and delayed usage with accumulation windows, demonstrated locally by a demo that processed three usage docs and produced a $46 rated cost.
