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.

After almost two years, actually, We took a step back thinking about, okay, that's cool that we're having customers, that we're having paying customers, but what is the bigger problem that we actually want to solve? So we want to bring monitoring to developers. How can we do that? And we took that step back and really thought about, okay, we need to invest time into monitoring this code.

So we need to set time aside really to work on our vision. And that's what we did. The first iteration wasn't great, to be honest. No one started using it. We kept iterating and it took us a whole year to get a monitoring as code version out to the market, a command line interface that enables you to do all these things.

In the end, I think our mistake was to not pushing the vision hard enough, not implementing fast enough, kind of what we had in mind to implement because lots of customers came to us without even supporting that vision.

So what's our mission, right? So in the end, we help the developers to detect and resolve issues 10x faster. I'm waking you up in the middle of the night, tell you that your service is down, and that's pretty much it, right? I wake you up and then you have a look.

What we want to achieve is we want to wake you up, but also right at that split second, tell you where the problem actually comes from, help you to remediate the issue faster. And that's pretty much the next checklist product evolution that we're working on right now. Helping you to understand, okay, there's a problem that's coming from my slow database.

I have to look at this in the middle of the night to actually resolve the incident faster. The other piece is we have customers around the world, lots of customers coming from the U.S. right now, and we're expanding the team there. So we're investing lots of energy there to help the customers on the ground.
