Show HN: Managed S3 exports for billing data (no AWS setup required)

3 points by manishfp 11 hours ago

Hi HN,

We're building flexprice, a monetization platform that helps making usage-based, credit based and hybrid pricing easier and We recently added a managed-storage option to the S3 export system in Flexprice.

Originally, S3 exports required the usual setup: your own bucket, IAM policy, access keys, region config, and ongoing credential management.

That works if you already have infra in place, but it adds a lot of overhead for teams that just want recurring exports for invoices, events, or credit reports.

Now there are two options:

- bring your own S3 bucket

- use a Flexprice-managed S3 connection

With the managed option, there’s no AWS account or bucket setup required. You can schedule exports, run them manually, and download files directly from the runs history.

The goal here was simple: make exports useful for finance and ops teams, not just infra teams.

Still supports:

- hourly / daily schedules

- manual export

- invoices, events, credit top-ups, credit usage

- execution history and downloadable files

Happy to answer questions on the design tradeoffs or why we kept both managed and BYO storage modes. Feel free to join our community or try our product at admin.flexprice.io
