What's Good
Apache-2.0. Pitch is OSS docker compose: clone, cd quickstart, docker compose up. CloudEvents ingest, meters, entitlements, billing blocks. README: releases are beta and can include breaking changes.
The Catch
Cloud is now Kong Konnect Metering — check current Kong pricing on the vendor site. Distinct from Lago: usage-event metering first, not AGPL usage-billing with no hobby cloud. Compose is a local evaluation stack (Kafka/ClickHouse), not production topology.
Verdict
Apache-2.0 metering you compose locally. Hosted path is Kong; README is beta.
