Thanks for this article. I'm interested in the way you marketed your product to developers in early daus. What problems did you face and how fast did you grow in the first year? I'm currently looking for kind of a benchmark to compare if our API-first platform is on a good track.


Hey sedzia - from shippo here, saw your comment.

We actually just published this piece on Mattermark on how we sustained the business and build up our API in the early days. https://mattermark.com/focused-long-tail-get-traction-enterp...

Doesn't necessarily have benchmarks, but maybe the story will trigger some ideas.
