I was expecting it to come earlier but never disappoint when it finally arrives. This will definitely make the Stripe ecosystem (apps, developers, etc) even stronger.

#92We (Render) are a featured app in the marketplace [1]; the app lets you run real time queries against your Stripe data in a fully-managed PostgreSQL database that's always in sync. Happy to answer questions about our experience building it! [1] https://marketplace.stripe.com/apps/render-sql
Congratulations on the launch!
How many man-hours did it take to build this app? Does releasing it as an Stripe app instead of hosting it on your own website(using Stripe Connect) reduced technical implementations such as authentication/authorization?

#93Surprised they don’t handle App-Billing like Shopify does from a first look at the docs. Is this on the roadmap so that devs can directly charge for their app?

merchant of record (like paddle)
Afaik the merchant of record takes on the full liability, cost of fraud etc. It's pretty rare is it not?
yes, but it's awesome, for 5% you never have to worry about invoicing or vat (especially valuable in EU)
one invoice per month to paddle and you're good to go
great for small bootstrapped saas

It's almost like any successful developer needs to develop an app thats popular but not that popular and verging on slightly more difficult so that the moat holder (in this case Stripe) doesn't want to build it themselves. Alternatively make something that catches fire really quickly and sell very quickly before they can build it themself.
Welcome to capitalism. These are shark infested waters. Either be a shark or learn how to swim safely ;)
How is that capitalism related?

#96Earlier quoted context omitted.
so its a conspiracy that Docusign is down 80% from ATH as are many YC backed IPO stocks? Just open up a chart and have a go at the numerous tickers YC is involved with. Are those stocks that you would trust your life savings with and that its a conspiracy that they are struggling with potential problems to capital and liquidity? If you are going to simp for YC at least have skin in the game
"...this seems like something to send more paying customers to its network of YC backed businesses." Is a baseless conspiracy. Back it up with facts! If you can, we're all here to listen. Accusing someone of being a simp because they think your argument is baseless and weak is not a great way to strengthen your argument.
Again, why are you simping for YC when you aren't even part of it, an investor, or a shareholder in any of its derivative stocks?
Re: Stripe App Marketplace
#97This was inevitable. App marketplaces are great all around. Great for users - more functionality. Great for partners - easy access to distribution/users. Great for the marketplace owner - improve your product, while adding network effects that deepen your moat against competitors.
Unless there's a reason for an app to be exclusive to a marketplace, then I disagree that it deepens the moat.

In terms of effort, a couple of engineers worked on the app part-time for a few weeks. A Stripe App is the best way to handle permissions on behalf of a user, plus it gives Render more visibility in their marketplace.

Any interesting details on how it’s implemented? If I were guessing, register a stripe webhook. On each webhook, and fetch changed events and turn it into proper sql.
We actually use Render cron jobs under the hood: https://render.com/docs/cronjobs
