>>> We generated net losses of $32.4 million, $47.8 million, $92.1 million
The revenues are good and increasing, but the losses, omg.
edit: OMG they got the numbers wrong? check pages 3 and page 13-14. Dates don't match, 2019 and 2020 are mixed up?
Just because the losses are scaling with revenue growth doesn’t mean the business is unsustainable. It could just mean they’re sinking a ton of money into sales/marketing/r&d because they view their market as a land rush.
The irony is that everybody bemoans PDF yet formatting control is exactly why it has such staying power despite being such a hated de facto publishing format.

Can't believe the cynicism on here. Selling bullshit IPOs is very profitable.
this flurry of IPOs is to take advantage of all the Liquidity the Fed is pumping into the markets
The IPO is the product
Tesla at 1,000 P/E
If you are running a tech company right now, you would have to be crazy to not IPO
you can raise half a billion or a few billion
that buys you 5 to 20 years of life as a company
Here are some views that we're using for our little startup:

It worked pretty well to be fair, but it got a bit expensive (as things usually do).
I would probably use them again.
May I suggest you try out Scalyr? Our trials are easy to set up. We are cost effective at large scale ingest, our searches are fast and power queries are super nice!
No. Please stop.
It's basically the Lite version of splunk, 90% of the features at 10% of the cost (which matters when we're talking 10s of thousands of dollars per year).
I implemented SumoLogic about 5 years ago at another company and it was great. At some point we will need it in our current company (we have ELK, but it is clunky) and it does not compare with what sumo had to offer 5 years ago. But their pricing page has some crap "credit" metric that does not let you compare it.
How'd you swing that? We are fairly large Sumologic users, and it's more like 80% of the features at 80% of the cost.
It's a rock solid product, it's extremely reliable but it's not that cheap.
If I can't have grep, I'll probably always beg for SumoLogic. It's great, at least compared to what I've used so far.
Of course, we didn't try to negotiate, but it looks more expensive than Sumo. At one company we were spending around $600k a year on it, and it looks like you would cost closer to 1m.
If you reformat all your logs to output as json you can "| json auto nodrop" and suddenly you have fantastic statistics off every single field. It's also smart enough to figure out 'close enough' json, like if you're piping log output to syslog which adds it's own metadata.
Their Logreduce feature is also nice for "Ingestion suddenly shot up but eyeballing doesn't show a pattern, help me out here!" Hit the button and get logs grouped by 'these are pretty close except for x."
Amusingly they called me once. I apparently managed to craft a scheduled query that was causing their systems issues. I okayed them adjusting the query to something a little less aggressive.
The only feature that seems wonky is 'real time' (which they limit you on how many you can use). Never was a big issue, I generally would run 'real time' stuff every 15 minutes.
I will be very sad if they die or get bought out by Splunk. It's a great product.
I'll outsource SIEM every time and sleep very well doing it.
I miss Scalyr, but I think that’s mostly because I haven’t learned how to be very effective with Sumo Logic yet.
