A marketplace machine may provide a marketplace for the software service developed by a developer. The marketplace machine may register a software service, configure a server to provide the software service, and advertise the software service to potential consumers (e.g., other developers). The marketplace machine may receive a request (e.g., a call) to invoke the software service, route the request to a server configured to provide the software service, and record (e.g., meter) the usage of the software service. When the software service is invoked by a consumer, the marketplace machine may charge the consumer a fee for usage of the software service. Furthermore, the marketplace machine may generate and provide a report that indicates usage of the software service. |
