Maybe @awscloud keeps going down because they run all their stuff on prem?

Hey, @UberEats - is there any way you can share data or a cool chart on the spike in usage/spend over the #CrowdStrike Weekend? I know plenty of teams that had to spend $$ on keeping everyone fed that weekend - I'm sure you were one of the benefactors.

Do you have a product that targets Devs? If yes, then Developer-Led Growth (DLG) can be a strategic choice for you. DLG is different from PLG, as devs are a finicky bunch. So check the 2023 DevRel Report, available in post # 6 this week by @DevRelAgency

At #5 this week, the @devops_research team at @googlecloud just released their '23 #DevOps report. #AI has a limited impact on dev teams (I see this as a lagging metric) User-focused dev, rapid code reviews, & high-trust culture are winning characteristics https://t.co/SPZdIopj8A

This week @NextBigTeng hits #4, highlighting a disconnect in market #valuations, @cartainc reveals a bleak 1-in-5 down round scenario in Q2 report. Tougher fundraising, 2.9x #VC demand vs. supply for late-stage #startups & a 200-company/$60B IPO backlog. https://t.co/IbYBp471YZ

At the #4 spot this week, @MeritechCapital looks at the $2T #SaaS Public market: #Revenuemultiples down to 80% from '21 high; Median #CACpayback now 28.1 months!; #NDR is an all-time low. Reduced upsells & increasing churn are impacting that metric hard.
