Hi everyone, it's Shii-chan!
AWS What's New

Here's some nice news for anyone selling SaaS on Marketplace!
What was announced?
According to AWS What's New, the AWS Marketplace metering agent skill is now generally available.
It's an AI-guided experience that helps sellers build, deploy, and validate a usage-based (pay-as-you-go) SaaS metering integration from within their AI coding assistant.
The story so far
Sellers integrating metering navigated documentation, workshops, and trial-and-error API calls. Common mistakes such as mismatched dimension names or invalid timestamps could create billing gaps that were discovered days later.
What changes
The skill guides you through the whole integration journey.
- Gathers your product type, pricing model, and usage dimensions
- Recommends the correct metering API
- Generates integration code and a customized AWS CloudFormation stack for your configuration
- Runs an end-to-end test against AWS Marketplace before any production code ships
Dive Deep
- Cross-validates dimensions against the seller's actual product configuration
- Applies built-in guardrails
- Deploys a serverless metering pipeline using the ResolveCustomer API, the BatchMeterUsage API, and Amazon EventBridge for subscription events
- Verifies the integration with a live test
- Supports Concurrent Agreements
- Helps existing sellers inspect, debug, and analyze their metering records
It's available through the AWS MCP Server in any AI coding assistant that supports MCP, including Amazon Q Developer, Kiro, and other MCP-compatible clients, with no plugin installation required.
Wrap-up
- The metering agent skill is GA
- Guides you from requirements to code, deployment, and a live test
- Catches mistakes that cause billing gaps before production
- Works through the AWS MCP Server in MCP-compatible assistants
This is for sellers who want to list usage-based SaaS on Marketplace!
