06/12/2023, 10:26 PMhere are closed-source SaaS companies that are incredibly successful (looking at you DataDog)I would add to that list: ⢠Salesforce ⢠Snowflake ⢠Splunk One observation though: while those companies are related to software development, they're not core to software development. DataDog and Splunk are monitoring, Snowflake is analytics, and Salesforce is for salespeople. In contrast, Temporal, Confluent, and Mongo are core to their customers' tech stacks. I'm not sure if I can find an example of another closed-source company that is core to tech stacks, but I'm also young š
