Buffjan,
Thanks for the post. Here’s my top-line thoughts.

Although revenue growth dipped to 51% in Q1, it accelerated to 67% last quarter and further accelerated to 75% this quarter.

Non-GAAP Operating margins were 10% in Q1, 13% in Q2, and 16% in Q3. It’s great to see that as revenue grows, more is going to the bottom line.

Customers with ARR > 100k, has been nicely accelerating since Q4 last year. Q4 2020 = 46%, Q1 2021 = 50%, Q2 = 59%, and Q3 = 66%

I think it’s pretty amazing to see such consistent growth.

Best,
