From: Priya Raman, Product To: leadership@ Subject: Launch recommendation — Scheduled Exports (GA, Nov 4) Attachments: none

(Drafted with Claude from my notes, then edited. Flagging in case anyone wants the raw version.)

Recommendation

We should take Scheduled Exports to GA on November 4. The feature has been in beta since September, the engineering work is complete, and the market window favours moving before the Q4 procurement cycle closes.

Background

Scheduled Exports lets customers configure recurring CSV and Parquet deliveries to S3, GCS, or an SFTP endpoint on an hourly, daily, or weekly cadence. It addresses the most requested item in our enterprise feedback channel over the last three quarters.

Market context

Data portability has become table stakes in our category. Every serious competitor now ships some form of scheduled delivery, and buyers increasingly treat its absence as a disqualifier in RFPs. Analysts expect the data-integration segment to continue growing at a healthy clip through 2027 as enterprises consolidate their reporting stacks. Our win rate against competitors who offer this is materially lower than against those who don't.

Beta results

• 31 accounts enrolled, 24 configured at least one export
• 4,100 successful export runs, 22 failures (99.5% success rate)
• Median setup time: 6 minutes
• Support tickets: 9, all resolved, none escalated
• Feedback has been strongly positive. Several beta customers told us this was "exactly what we'd been waiting for," and two said they'd expand usage once it's generally available.

Engineering readiness

Backend is complete and has been running in production for the beta cohort for seven weeks. Load testing shows headroom to roughly 8× current export volume. The remaining work is a settings-page polish pass (2 days) and documentation (3 days), both in flight. Ben's team has confirmed the timeline.

Pricing

Included in the Growth and Enterprise tiers at no additional charge. We considered metering by export volume but concluded that adding a meter would complicate the sales conversation at a moment when we want the feature to be a reason to buy rather than a reason to negotiate.

Risks

Risk	Mitigation
Documentation slips past Nov 4	Docs team has committed; Priya to track daily
Export volume spikes at GA	Load tested to 8×; autoscaling configured
Support load increases	Runbook drafted; support briefed Oct 28
SFTP endpoint variability across customers	Beta covered 6 SFTP configurations

Success metrics

We'll measure adoption at 30 and 90 days, targeting 15% of eligible accounts configuring at least one export by day 90. We'll also track the win-rate improvement in deals where scheduled export appears as a requirement.

Ask

Approval to proceed with the November 4 GA date and the announcement plan attached separately.
