Question: David E. Hynes - Canaccord Genuity Corp., Research Division - Analyst
: Congrats on the strong results. John, I wanted to ask, look, obviously, the plans are in place for accelerated sales investment, that's
awesome. I'm going to be greedy. I'm going to ask, why not more, right? I mean do you think the market could support faster sales
investments? And I'd be curious to get your thoughts on kind of the gating factors there. Is it just about operationalizing a larger
team? Or is there more to it?
Question: David E. Hynes - Canaccord Genuity Corp., Research Division - Analyst
: Yes. Makes sense. And maybe I can follow up with a different competitive question. Bhavan asked about ServiceNow. I want to ask
you about Splunk. I know you've talked about having lots of joint customers in the past. I'm curious what you're hearing there as
they expand into observability. I mean look, obviously, lots of work for them to do in terms of moving the product together. But I'm
curious how you see that playing out. I mean do you think they'll try and be price disruptive? I know they're not a core competitor
today, but would love any thoughts.
Question: Matthew George Hedberg - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: John, hearing you talk about maintaining 30% growth over the long time is certainly impressive. And I guess part of that thesis, I
think, is continuing to kind of diversify away from APM. And last quarter, I think you noted 40% of your customers or maybe nearly
40% were using infrastructure on nonfull-stack workloads. I'm wondering can you comment on how that might trend this year?
And then I guess, sort of importantly, why have you been so successful cross-selling outside of APM?
Question: Matthew George Hedberg - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: That's great. Certainly seems evident to us as well. And I guess, Kevin, you always do a good job of outlining sort of some of your
building blocks assumptions for ARR, and there's been a lot of focus on NRR and obviously on your quota capacity adds this year.
But I think you added about 20% -- you grew your customer base by about 20% last year. I guess I'm wondering sort of within your
ARR guide, what is sort of your assumption on customer adds this year? Do you think you might grow that base even more than you
did last year?
