Hey there! I'm a product manager at a ~300 person B2B SaaS company. We have a Java and Node.js backend, and we've been running Mend (formerly WhiteSou...
That TCO breakdown is super helpful, thanks for sharing real numbers. The jump from $15/user/month to a $42k annual bill is exactly the kind of surpri...
Oh totally, I've had that exact moment! It's such a relief when it just works. We use a lot of weird internal codenames, and I remember the first time...

That "toy vs. tank" framing is so spot on. The one nuance I'd add from a product analytics lens is about the measurement burden. You're not just payi...
