As any founder can attest, landing your initial customers is a classic chicken and egg problem. This is especially true when your product is at the heart of mission critical financial applications. So I'm forever grateful that @getmetronome decided to place their trust in @responsive_apps to power their core systems from our very earliest days. 💚 Metronome powers the usage based billing systems at some of today's most iconic companies, including OpenAI, Nvidia, Databricks, and many more.
