So we're spending a lot of time in really finding the right people there. And I think we have done a really great job so far.
To be honest with you, we're constantly fighting scalability, right? And the more we grow, we are fighting scalability. Obviously, we're trying to think about how to scale our architecture moving forward. But then in the end, customers are surprising us, right? So customers coming with hundreds of users are then surprising us about certain edge cases.

So I think about it in a way that we make it work, make it right, make it fast, make it scalable in the end. Checkly is built to scale right now, but the truth is that we're constantly working on scaling these services and helping our customers pretty much to use Checkly with a larger workload and rethinking certain features constantly.

Because in the end, starting a startup, you can never really plan for the scale that will hit you. You might need to optimize for a certain amount of workload. You might need to optimize for hundreds of users, etc. And it's really hard to implement any product in a scalable way from the start. There's always time set aside to help services scale even better.

First of all, the team. Really building a company with such a great team, seeing the individuals in our team grow is really amazing, right? Seeing them over years constantly growing because the company is constantly changing. But also having lots of customers, having a thousand customers that are paying you is a great milestone to achieve, to be honest.

And as a European founder, I also have to say that us being able to open an office in New York, which we did this summer, is a great achievement as well. Last but not least, and maybe even more important here, is we call it what we are doing, monitoring as code. I said that earlier. And this is a category now. So our competition is talking about monitoring as code as well.

Even Gartner and customers are coming to us because they want to adopt monitoring as code. That's really an achievement I'm very proud of.

We had this vision of monitoring as code in mind from the start, right? And we knew that this is how we enable developers in the end at scale to monitor their products. But Tracty got early traction, right? So we had paying customers that came to us without even supporting monitoring as code. We started to solve their problems for four months without even investing time into our vision.
