• Multi-Region and Multi-Cloud: Supporting our multi-region and multi-cloud backend, including extending it to launch Hightouch on in new regions to support data residency requirements of our global customer base
• Operational excellence: Support an increase in our ability to catch issues before they reach production and respond quickly if they do
