Case study

SaaS Billing Backbone Rebuild

Migrated a fragile billing system to a robust Laravel architecture with better reliability and feature velocity.

Context

A B2B SaaS product had recurring incidents in billing workflows: duplicated invoices, failed retries, and unclear audit trails.

Challenges

  • Legacy logic scattered across controllers
  • No clear event model for billing state changes
  • Poor retry behavior for payment failures

Solution

I redesigned the billing domain around explicit state transitions, queue-driven retries, and idempotent operations. We introduced clearer service boundaries and improved observability for finance-critical actions.

Outcomes

  • 78% reduction in billing-related incidents
  • Faster release cycles for pricing-related features
  • Better confidence for finance and support teams
