This article references either simple business listings, routine coverage, non-notable sources, and user generated content hosted on sites such as ComputerWorld and TechCrunch which WP:NCORP explicitly states does not constitute reliable coverage.

Keep - Note: I have COI disclosed here. The page was reviewed through the WP:AFC process and approved by an unbiased third party. WP:NCORP only discourages the use of TechCrunch and similar sources when the article is written by a "non-staff 'contributor'", and that is specifically to weed out paid contributions. Discussions on the Reliable Sources Noticeboard point to this as well, and suggest that the portion of the content from these sites from non-biased sources can be considered reliable. Furthermore, TechCrunch is a major industry publication, and simple common sense precludes a wholesale disregard of it as a source. Computerworld is a 50-year-old tech magazine and the source is reliable per WP:NEWSBLOG. Both TechCrunch and Computerworld have editorial oversight. While some of the sources may be regurgitating press releases, others represent a depth of coverage that extends beyond churnalism, and are enough to establish the notability of a company that serves over 10% of all requests on the Internet. The company's last funding round was also covered by the Wall Street Journal, but I chose not to use that reference because the information was adequately covered in non-paywalled sources. --Sykes83 (talk) 21:34, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Significant coverage in multiple reliable sources cited in the article: [1], [2], [3]. ~Kvng (talk) 02:49, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Agreed as per Kvng. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 23:43, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
