Amberflo - Integrations

Metering Cloud

Integrations for Metering Cloud are intended for streamline ingestion and extraction of usage data from a variety of sources and systems.

Many customers already have some form of usage instrumentation in place, whether that be a homegrown metering pipeline or some logs-based system. Rather than supplanting this entirely, Amberflo can take events from this existing stream rather than forcing you to re-instrument your solution. This allows customers to get up and running with realtime usage data in Amberflo in days, not months, regardless of their architecture or level of metering sophistication.

Meter data ingestion options for Amberflo Metering Cloud:

Amberflo SDKs or API

Pre-built SDKs for Python, Java, Typescript, and Go automatically handle batching, flushing, and async ingestion to Amberflo; or connect directly to Amberflo API endpoints to manually configure ingestion.

AWS S3

Stage meter data to AWS S3 for pre-aggregation before ingestion to Amberflo or to guarantee AWS SLAs for ingestion pipeline availability. Amberflo will provision the S3 bucket for customers upon request at no additional charge.

AWS SQS

Leverage a message streaming service like AWS SQS for ingestion for high-volume use cases. Events from the SQS queue are saved to S3 before processing and ingestion to Amberflo.

AWS CloudWatch

Configure Amberflo's Serverless Agent for AWS Cloudwatch to automatically extract data from CloudWatch logs into Amberflo as meters.

Elastic LogStash

Use Logstash's rich language for parsing metering data out of your logs and repositories. The integration leverages the Logstash S3 output plugin and writes the metering records to the Amberflo S3 bucket.

Databases and JDBC-enabled sources

Use Amberflo SDKs to read data from the JDBC source and write it into Amberflo as meter events. Or use a local agent or ETL tool to push data from JDBC source into S3, then ingest to Amberflo from S3.

Multiple file formats such as csv and json

Use Amberflo SDKs to read data from the file and write it into Amberflo as meter events. Or use a local agent or ETL tool to push data from the file into S3, then ingest to Amberflo from S3.

POSTMAN collections

Securely interact with the Amberflo APIs by using a POSTMAN collection. Backfill batches meter events or configure regular ingestion jobs.

Billing Cloud

Integrations for Billing Cloud are more diverse and varied in scope, with the intention of extending Billing Cloud functionality to both upstream and downstream systems such as CRM, Accounting, Payments, and ETL automation platforms.
