Focusing on smaller developers, in some ways it’s been a bit overshadowed by AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. DigitalOcean is growing an impressive 37% at $500,000,000 in ARR, and staying very SMB with 600,000+ customers, but still driving deal sizes up a bit. Even if you’re far smaller than the Huge Guys.
If you’re selling software to SMB merchants and outside of tech like Shopify and Toast and Monday , things are pretty, pretty good, if in some ways still harder than before. Growth in public cloud services (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Snowflake, etc.) So things are all over the place these days.
It’s worth pointing out that Azure is a bit above the long term trendline, while AWS is still below (but accelerating up). It’s worth pointing out that Azure is a bit above the long term trendline, while AWS is still below (but accelerating up).
Ok, it’s quite possible Gartner is way underestimating SMB spend here, the total spend on SaaS is likely $200B or more. In my 148 public SaaS companies (including most of the categories of this list but not AWS, Azure, GCP) the aggregate revenue is $185B. Go grab your piece. This is your time, folks. Go make it happen.
And it’s one of the three large cloud vendors that we all know: Microsoft, AWS, and Google. Azure’s marketplace has over 4 million monthly visitors. AWS’s marketplace has seen 1.5 Like I said, we run 100% of our platform on AWS, so the fit was great. It was pretty easy to drive that from our side.
It looks at the YoY dollar change in quarterly revenue from the hyperscalers (just looking at Azure / AWS because the data goes back further) going back a few years. If we break this down and look at Azure and AWS independently (graphs below), you’ll see how the AWS “swings” were a lot more volatile.
But I'm not here to talk about hyper-scale, public clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, or Google Cloud. I want to talk to you today about clouds. They're great, but for many, they're overkill.
Usage on Snowflake is driven by queries run on Snowflake Azure: Neutral Tone With Strength in AI Overall I’d characterize Azure’s quarter as a net positive. They guided to 26-27% growth in Azure in Q2 (with 1% coming from AI). Their consumption is driven by usage of applications built on top of Mongo.
For SaaS businesses that target smaller SMB customer segments, gross retention is typically in the mid to low 80’s with net expansion in the ~105% range. This is why the consumption players (Snowflake, Mongo, Confluent, Azure, AWS, etc) so more variability in the macro slowdown.
You can see the growth on the platform side with Azure, Google, and AWS and how much it’s accelerating in AI. They’re very SMB and just closed their first $750k TCV deal. To some extent, it’s not clear. Maybe endless price increases,” Jason says. A lot of it is moving to versions of AI. How does a startup benefit from this?
I’m going to get the numbers wrong, I think Amazon has 10,000 open positions out in AWS. I think Azure’s like 7,000, Google. Salesforce was a very rudimentary SMB app for a brief period of time, but it was. I think hiring is harder than ever. It sold to very small companies. It didn’t even have custom tabs.
We’ve all seen AWS and what they’ve done with their platform. Azure has been gaining on them rapidly and is growing a double that rate. Everyone knows Shopify for what it is today, but in the earlier days, it really was the best SaaS platform for SMB eCommerce providers. It is staggering.
