Uhh wow... what they say is "With developer signups from the world's leading brands." Then list a bunch of big logos.

Reminds me of planetscale.com which has a bunch of logos on their home page, but really those logos are using vitess, not actually using planetscale.

Purposely misleading on both fronts imo. Rubs me the wrong way

That's not actually true. You are completely wrong. Every customer in our trusted by section is a customer of our cloud product.

I'm not talking about the "trusted by" section, but now that I'm visiting your site again, I see you've added that. When i looked a year back you only had the second section. "The power of open source" which then shows a ton of logos, including: affirm, box, axon, youtube, github, square, shopify, new relic, yelp, weave... If these are all your customers, that really wasn't clear to me! And that's awesome! You should be more explicit that they're all your customers.

I thought it was just saying, "hey, all these folks are using this open source thing that we're also using/selling".
