A few months ago my co-founder August did a great Indie Hackers interview https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses/cronitor and we heard a lot of positive feedback on sharing revenue and growth numbers. On that theme, we thought we'd write a blog post to give a little more color to our largest expense, AWS.
The only thing I didn't like was "spend" in the title – "costs" or "expenses" would be less pretentious, to my ears and in my mind. This is a really trivial quibble! [And apparently this is a really old word in English anyways][1]. Now I feel like a grumpy old person.
Not to quibble with your quibble (but here I go anyway)... The term "Marketing Spend of X" or "Operating Spend of Y" is fairly common business-analysis-speak. At least in certain regions of the United States. IIRC, I also heard it used by Telstra and ANZ execs during some projects I had to take care of in Australia.
