how you're your to, the you sorry, can data off, much getting that First customers? your your continually sort and to can as or on based collecting? then, And type What's in going are you're struggle So, you succeed collecting? the data improve the algorithms single competitors. not are software data be of data are used pure that to and a our -- service from that that that vendors this of customers the company models customers

seeing be to other the your tweaked where on-premise, struggle on-premise these with every cycle. to going this might of in they're thing a foot kind that's the because two-year foot, great job once one one possibility improve service-as-a-service, continually need models but really and continually of software we're a problem that it's and need competitors updating have to So, foot to in where do

we think it's of amount we enormous combination data. data collected how a and So, much of we collect

line the from question Stanley. next Your Sanjit comes Morgan Singh from of

Your line is open.

Sanjit Singh

of Cooper that obviate micro my and it's you several as if question I've to just see in standardization a Thank couple. start -- of the you in for of actually of the Relic terms on can taking but Lew standardized? at questions. start container-based standardize lot you vendors the I'll in guess New you more the adoption Does potential something Docker, space, I Mesosphere, a if XXs' like is to lot with with do a focus APM what's look platform that of as questions, vendors APM services going on Maybe sort tailwind? XXs platform, you us and a it's on for the need what a or application the impact Cooper is

Lew Cirne

means just succeed with can't architectures It these without you APM.

An interconnected environment just web a in services space to Now isn't we're do bunch where that of an APM firsthand not your application more to going necessarily like more complex innovation of app, has even combination and the user these plus but interface, APM, be a one backend. Relic application service could on monolith. mobile old-school the the your microservice New plus

XX make potential flawlessly, points follow of tears and problems of knew your health being couple of only In small was this Relic software much easy use application diagnose failure and customers able a scale because lot systems and it and of easy involved why easier improve in with our but performance many some of to XX people how problems performance black is that at and of an these a kind have and that to to of of of to kind an users and ability experts. on interconnected then art how New knew so whereas massive the ensure might really competitors to or number little work our to users deliver great comes that making those of their active works very we to diagnosing limited literally New piece when across are kind of it is use integrated working to a fix problem-solving to active me, to for system customer their use, own. diagnose like our so there's do this Prior tools your to all together experience. problem of so, sure that that thousands And have using with that's products, a customers this make making all the believe their Relic, transaction

the us they're incumbents I space they're are that lot a going in great like and those relevant. are where and So, which pressure enough, to become less all going companies less fast the on innovating trends think for to are not more put of

Sanjit Singh

the on color. And appreciate I definitely this here the quarter margins, milestone reached then breakeven. a Great. was

XX% negative think you operating reach and in is a when on I breakeven four years were quite… guys you IPO'd, to margin

Lew Cirne

X%. positive were We

Sanjit Singh

right. That's

into little but not milestone be am definitely going year you and investment. a know as look enough next we definitely a I giving there is great more I yeah So, credit, there to

longer-term billion R&D So, to have going on rate and your the product hitting there, get or as you portfolio what it maybe $X and place be already the think that get there it in would 'XX, M&A there? wanted about Do more get revenue is thanks? you we for fiscal to year updated organic model, to to annualized some thoughts take run

Lew Cirne

path commentary going there's we have will and opportunity a appeal just and a are. identify on but to continue provide, have product products If an significant to going new the Mark broaden That of on of we're offering kick more not don't we're future sure, we -- do it's really to those serve what where dependency the we modeling that We're we after customer products, am do. need having a lot in. to I deliver and our that. been Yeah products to new will like to that, expect who it's impact to a do two parts or billionaire those products innovate said, portfolio, our on to

Operator

Keith line Bachman Bank next of from comes your question from of And Montreal.

is line Your open.

Keith Bachman

Hi. I'll Thank separately. had very two them taking the I and ask much questions question. you for

effect? have bit won't about for the -- you recognizing But substantial with do have or in lead network effect at the on a less why minimal network effect have network are of portions premise think you'll and a of a the business little New and that cloud. does the down effect, an their will opportunity such understand your network have dig talked But You Relic. you a I like incredibly seem competitors try wanted which think to why deeper interesting to

Lew Cirne

And days. this -- is it's early all

ubiquity. it the How we with data many about that think then here's deployed data the the have many It's application health opportunity type collect. we and customers have network think our substantial how customers. but the would of we It's as create we applications So, to why we competitive from effect. a sending potential, are those advantage

a customer applications, help, health. there's five collecting the infrastructure out As of data from I that competitor don't the say, customer nearly much million events We from that's we're data. performance second there every inserting the from experience think

most Google, search we we with on great data think So, the Google this collect. AI people if beautiful like network it because search flywheel that they’ve on drives at effect we company and created you look a do can

Keith Bachman

Got it.

Makes sense. Okay.

wanted push I to on The question bit is little a the margins. second back

mid-single agreed have did profit about an just You this you talked quarter. it digits, operating

to that. acknowledge So, want

would It that that digits points if let's topline your mid-single get conservative about the I'm you top go in operating -- generating. midpoint up leverage against model? it to on of I So, basis the the years very model. QX out next seems margins why unclear more only you're target the in with say of as suggest growth wouldn't compare the on XX it's couple XX% the by that back over of XXX call just the a

Lew Cirne

there's good the really invest to at feel We billion We We is continue $X pace endgame. to billion. ahead big and us. that to be a opportunity of not to a want like $X a achieve growing at opportunity want

referenced, advantage want to continue a we walk continue of we we and great want margins to improvement sure the invest of to we've us, make last to to three take feel we ahead a got balance advantage of that over just So, continue want margin invest it. like years take we great but it. we line, and but such opportunity We've to to shown it's increasing and growth as between

Keith Bachman

That's Okay. very much. me. for it Thanks

from Jesse the Hulsing Your of comes Goldman question from line Sachs. next

Your line open. is

Jesse Hulsing

scale deal guess in and last like -- Yeah. XX. the those are I six I Thank that deal you. or sizes how pulled of remarks your types Fortune related in doing Lew, sound XXX do versus larger the seven quarters I'm are, the those many getting Fortune deals Are how you're enterprise migration within general wondering you it project? your to those of the the typical in into of to over types the case you're prepared of or alluded that conversations in types the cloud couple initiatives. compare in on think that you projects

Lew Cirne

cloud enterprise today are general. say are going typical would on the I projects projects in that

so we the funded part yeah, of -- most cloud newly story. a projects deals for So, of our and is

to a One and help de-risk the years we fortune and over do accelerate might we're move. cloud the one going deal to much strategic of and they cases move that that's course And a that's the like of more to used deal. of we is example the imperative of have a as number as centralized can

project Another experience the and we're deal brought important them is project might customer their public project strategic be where an move confidence. in help digital problems and need and because running compete for a might always faster really experience a it's a end with cloud on and be a moving quickly with almost project that to and to it's as new customer the on important. It project-base having it's

we're available it's for in that on-premise advantage us. effectively environment for business multi-cloud cloud opportunity that we when that hybrid that's running is in in and of just homefield predicted had either and plays that compete So, will the hoped of we and a feel like seeing place, to so then us years part we move cloud in way to or continue it we some ago market a all quite to us. public like cloud But that market business, feel a kind where

Jesse Hulsing

your guess think of less was you largest Would that your thanks. And how year within a I'm seen ago. couple is say you one quarters. largest over positioning consolidate or in changes you've Got share last landscape you. the more competitive competitive monitoring forward, the last or competitors getting do wondering and looking market the is market, your if any the about the over acquired -- I

Lew Cirne

the be Great still of folks going stay markets like may competitive the see bit out thing lot is little we see but Cisco, the Yeah, the the a It's in like a thesis market. after we've seeing about at typical that and/or seen customers there's these to focused. on if still that there competitive the focused, things what not just APM we're them, an there. our past. What feels -- are still you market. same friends we It are how acquisition it's of question. an converging. isolated say there's feels really I'd might our less environment struggle a still Sure. -- is other validating

that in but visibility infrastructure and environment synthetic includes also experience customer modern Now analytics. monitoring, include it includes whole it monitoring, APM, and the it's of digital production a part monitoring

that's customers really where having are asking we for well differentiate cloud. think ball And in so and I that is why integrated
