Bye bye shelfware, hello customer value

Last week ThoughtSpot took big steps toward further focusing our pricing on a single metric: customer value. In the course of my career, I’ve worked at many companies, and seen countless products, packages, and editions launched. Often, these initiatives are guided by what’s in it for the company: how do we get better margins, cross or upsell products together, or maximize revenue?

Automatically extract TML definitions from tml/export

ThoughtSpot elements such as search, Liveboards, and data connections are all defined in a JSON-based metadata definition called ThoughtSpot Modeling Language, or TML. Recently, I blogged about how you can use Postman to access platform APIs to import/export TML as part of your devops processes; for example, to check in TML definitions and push to another environment via a continuous integration process. The TML export is pretty straightforward.

What defines the modern data stack and why you should care

When I was working at Google back in the mid 2000’s, we dealt with tens of billions of ad impressions a day, trained several machine learning models on years worth of historic data, and used frequently-updated models in ranking ads. The whole system was an amazing feat of engineering and there was no system out there that was even close to handling this much data. It took us years and hundreds of engineers to make this happen, today, the same scale can be achieved in any enterprise.
