SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

It can be the amount of usage data that they're ingesting.

So it can be very high volume and high velocity.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

But there's different vectors.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So it's not just the amount that you're ingesting in.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

It's also how frequently you're calculating the bill.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Because if you calculate the bill just once a month for billing purposes, you won't do many bill calculations.

But if you're calculating them every 15 minutes so that there's an up-to-date sort of how your bill is tracking available on a dashboard.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I don't see that as a big number because of our GameSpot experience.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

That will sound...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I'll use GamesBox as an example.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we were doing about 40 billion API calls a month.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And we were smaller in earlier stage than our ideal customer.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So it just depends.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I mean, if you're doing things in cloud infrastructure, they can be very high volumes.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

In different verticals, they can be lower volumes.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

It's not, but I wouldn't say that they... I wouldn't think that way because...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

They could be trying to cope with a high degree of price complexity that might not have a huge amount to do with the volume of usage ingest.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So it might be whatever, like a million, 10 million, 100 million, it doesn't matter.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

But the reason that they might be having real headaches is they've got a lot of customers and they've got a lot of SKUs and they've got a lot of complex bundling and they need to do a lot of complex billing logic and they want to change prices.
