When we launched the first wave of providers on Stripe Projects, it opened up a new way to build: provision real services from the terminal, get real credentials back, and keep moving without performing the ancient ritual of opening eight dashboards, three docs tabs, and one notebook you swear you'll organize later.
That first wave mattered a lot to us. It helped prove the product, brought great providers into the network, and showed what becomes possible when provisioning, credentials, and billing can all happen in a single flow.
Today, we're building on that foundation with a new wave of providers.
What's exciting about this launch
It's not that it changes the story. It expands it. The first providers gave developers a strong starting point. This wave broadens the network and makes it possible to assemble an even more modern software stack in one place.
This next set adds real range.
Cloudflare brings together edge compute with Workers, SQL storage with D1, containerized workloads, AI inference through Workers AI, browser automation with Browser Run, and queues for async work. It is a wide surface area, and it unlocks a lot in a single provider.
OpenRouter gives developers a simpler way to work across models, with one API key spanning a large range of options. That makes experimentation easier and lowers the overhead of building with multiple model providers.
Hugging Face brings open models and inference into the network, giving developers more flexibility and a stronger path for building with the open model world.
Fly.io adds a fast, developer-friendly way to run apps globally, close to users, with infrastructure that feels direct and built for developers.
Strengthening the operational layer
Just as importantly, this wave strengthens another part of the network: the capabilities that make an application usable, observable, and operational once it is running.
Firecrawl gives developers and agents web search and crawling, making it easier to pull live web context into products and workflows.
Amplitude adds product analytics and experimentation, helping teams understand behavior and improve what they ship.
Mixpanel brings a clear event-based view of how users are actually engaging with a product, which remains one of the most important inputs for iteration.
Inngest adds durable workflows, retries, scheduling, background jobs, and long-running async work: the kinds of systems that quickly become essential as products become more real.
Building on the first wave
What I like most about this wave is how naturally it builds on the first one.
The original providers helped developers get core pieces of infrastructure into place. This wave extends that into more of the full system: runtime, storage, model access, web context, analytics, and orchestration.
That is much closer to how people actually build. Not as a neat sequence of isolated services, but as a connected system that comes together all at once.
That is the direction behind Stripe Projects.
We're excited about the first wave of providers. We're excited about this next wave. And most of all, we're excited to keep growing the network from here.
There is a lot more to come. Good news for developers. Less good news for the chances that your next side project stays small.
