SCALABLE BILLING WITH DE-DUPLICATION AND SEQUENCING

摘要

Scalable handling of billing events that affect one or more accounts. A computing system partitions received events into a number of channels, perhaps by account identifier. The channels receive the events, and perform de-duplication of the events to help reduce the risk of double billing. The channel then assigns the event a channel specific sequence number. The sequenced events may perhaps then be aggregated by account to allow for easier computation of a bill.
