Honest question: What makes you think that you are not turning into a Datadog (price wise) once reach a certain scale?
The problem what I see with software companies that the pricing is dominated by investor requirements and when a company reaches a certain milestone change up the licensing model and the pricing with it.
- mikeshi42 3y agoIt's a classic innovator's dilemma - if/when we get there - it'd be a bit naïve of us to assume the next HyperDX isn't around the corner :) Anyone that believed in us on the way up - certainly has to believe that the same mistake will bring us down. I'd also add that I don't think all services trend their price upwards. AWS has historically lowered prices on services and continue to offer new service-tiers with lower prices (S3 tiering as an example). As the tech matures and costs fall for our service as well, it'd be surprising if we don't do the same.
