The previous stack &amp;ndash; Next.js on Cloud Run with Prisma and PostgreSQL &amp;ndash; worked but cost $72/month for a youth sports app with minimal traffic. Firebase brings that down to an estimated $20/month. The tradeoff is a complete backend rewrite.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;HustleStats is a youth soccer statistics tracker. Parents log games, coaches review performance, kids see their highlights. The new backend uses Google&amp;rsquo;s Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol with five agents:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>IAE Product Architecture: Building a Sellable AI Agent with A2A Protocol and Modular Pricing</title><link>https://startaitools.com/posts/iae-product-architecture-a2a-framework-modular-pricing/</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Oct 2025 10:00:00 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://startaitools.com/posts/iae-product-architecture-a2a-framework-modular-pricing/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Most AI agent projects die as consulting engagements. Someone builds a custom workflow, charges hourly, and the moment they stop touching it, the client churns. The agent was never a product — it was a service wearing a product&amp;rsquo;s clothes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I spent the last week turning our intelligence agent into something with a SKU. The result is the Intent Agent Engine (IAE): a two-layer architecture built on Google&amp;rsquo;s A2A Protocol, with modular pricing that lets customers buy exactly the capability they need. Here&amp;rsquo;s how the architecture decisions drove the pricing, and why the obvious approach — one agent, one price — would have killed the business.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
