I do like the book Speed of Trust a lot. I'm glad you mentioned it. Yeah, it's it's interesting. And of course, we're still working through it. Like while I've been at the company, we started COVID with like fifteen hundred employees and now we're over four thousand, I believe. And so obviously, as we scale and it's going to be really interesting to keep rolling these things out.

So scaling is is just such an interesting challenge for executives.

So there's technical scalability, which is obviously awesome. And then there's obviously org scalability. And so the company was founded on the concept of scaling rights. And over time, of course the world has changed in the 15 years to now, you know, many orders of magnitude, more demand on our servers.

And we stick with that belief that one of the things we have to build into the product is scalability as a feature. And one of the things I've seen in product after product that I've either helped build or been part of in my career, is scalability is an afterthought.

So what you'll see is they'll release a POC, it'll be awesome, they'll go to market, people adopt the product, and then the product management team comes back to engineering and says, okay, now we need to scale it by 10 or 100x. And they say, oh yeah, now we have to go rewrite it from scratch. That's just a true betrayal. It's a betrayal to your product management team.

It's a betrayal to your customers. We worked very hard to have all those things I talked about part of our plan from day one. Here at MongoDB, just to go deep into the weeds, One of the things we do is sharding is how you scale out MongoDB clusters.

And now we have a tenant, a tenant meaning a foundational belief in the organization that every single thing we write works with sharding out of the gate. So every single thing we write can be scaled out of the gate because otherwise success actually becomes your failure.
