Beyond joining The Cloud 100, we’re proud of a number of major accomplishments we’ve achieved this year. Here are a few of the more notable highlights so far from Amplitude’s journey in 2019.

Growing our global customer base

Today, Amplitude serves over 30,000 teams including 800+ corporate and enterprise customers. We work with 21 Fortune 100 leaders, such as Microsoft, along with high-growth innovators like Intuit, Twitter, SoFi, Zuora, Peloton, and Drift.

In Q2 2019, we celebrated our biggest quarter of new customers ever, with over 100 new corporate and enterprise customers globally across consumer, SaaS, media, and ecommerce, including Procter & Gamble, GoFundMe, Glossier and Traveloka.

Building the #1 product intelligence platform

At Amplitude, our mission is to help companies build great products. In today’s , people choose companies with the best product experience, so we’re constantly thinking about how we can push the envelope on to help our customers keep their products on the cutting edge.

In 2019 we have shipped over 68 new features and improvements to the Amplitude platform. These include additions to Amplitude for new insights, better data governance, easier collaboration, faster query speed as well as new products.

Building a great product that delivers exceptional customer value doesn’t happen in a silo. It takes data-driven collaboration across product, engineering, customer success, marketing, and more. That’s why we’ve invested in solutions that make Amplitude the easiest analytics tool to adopt and collaborate on:

  • help you share the narrative around a set of analyses with your team. With Notebooks, you can share the context and results of an A/B test or an interesting pattern of user behavior with text, images, and videos.
  • let you annotate product changes or experiments, analyze their impact, and broadcast takeaways to the rest of the organization. With Releases, you can create a record of your changes and view it in a chronological timeline, creating a living source of truth for all of your product updates and experiments.
  • is a space for all of your saved content—charts, Notebooks, dashboards, and cohorts—regardless of whether it’s discoverable, unlisted, or added to a Team Space.

In addition to this, we have continued to push the frontier on advanced product insights and data governance by introducing new analytics features to the industry:

  • helps teams understand how users engaging with a feature for the first time impacts how they behave in the product over time.
  • that lets you do things like hold one property constant, while grouping by another property, compare the behaviors of converted and dropped-off users, and view the distribution of time it takes for users to convert.
  • let you see the results of your analysis in the current time range with the previous day, or the same day from the previous week, month, quarter or year.
  • shows you how much data Amplitude is receiving from you and exposes metrics on successful/failed requests as well as throttling and silencing information.

Another critical pillar of product intelligence is taking programmatic action to improve customer experience.__ In August 2019, we launched to help companies automate campaign personalization:__

  • Rappi, the leading on-demand delivery service in South America, used Amplitude Engage to cut acquisition costs by 30%.
  • iflix, the largest streaming video service in Southeast Asia, used Amplitude Engage to increase campaign conversion-to-view rates 4x.

Amplitude Engage helps companies deliver tailored campaigns to specific audiences in the context of their behavior in three steps.
