Thanks for kind of making a travel. I just talked and you just came straight from London. So that’s really great commitment here. Maybe like since you just joined recently, maybe just talk a little bit about your due diligence that you did when you joined MongoDB and like what excited you, but also like what you could bring to the company, given your experience and kind of a slightly larger organization as well?

Absolutely. So I did do quite a bit of diligence on MongoDB before joining MongoDB, mainly spoke to customers who use MongoDB or if they were not using MongoDB, asked them, why not they were using MongoDB.
Second is also talk to some hardness on how do they think about it? Everybody from technology partners to system integrators and others on how do they think about MongoDB. And Raimo, I mean, at the end, you need to participate in a large market. That has always been the hallmark of my career. My first job out of college was Oracle because I felt Oracle was a large market. That time, Oracle was not that big. Oracle was actually as big as MongoDB when I joined Oracle.
And then when I joined ServiceNow, same thing, I thought it was a large market. And then Cloudflare was the same. So first, you need to participate
