What is your highest impact product?

Monday, November 4th 2024

One of the 0-1 products I built solved a problem for both enterprise and SMB customers.

The result: generated or was attributed to nearly $10M in ACV, $1M from self-serve. This product was a distributed rate limiting solution.

The problem for customers was they were experience layer 7 attacks - volumetric attacks against their web site. This increased server costs, interfered with the performance for legitimate users, and poses security risks due to brute-force attacks.

The process were highly cross-functional across the usual characters: engineering, design, product marketing, billing, data, finance, sales engineering, data engineering.

This project was the first product to ship on its stated deadline.

The first to use usage based billing based on the billing platform, which I also was the Product Manager of.

The first to launch with a dedicated analytics dashboard, of which I was also the product manager of.
