+Added: The carrying amount of the liability is based on the gross proceeds, net of the unamortized transaction costs incurred related to the issuance of the convertible debt instrument, and the partial repurchase made in May 2022.
+Added: The debt discount from the net unamortized transaction cost is amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible debt instrument using the effective interest rate method.
+Added: The Company applies the if-converted method for calculation of diluted earnings per share for the convertible debt instrument.
Revenue recognition
−Removed: Refer to Note 3, "Revenues" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for our Revenue Recognition policy.
+Added: The Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of services to customers executing contracts in which the standard contract term is one year, although terms may vary by contract.
+Added: Most of the Company's contracts are non-cancelable over the contractual term.
+Added: The majority of the Company's usage based contracts commit the customer to a minimum monthly level of usage and specify the rate at which the customer must pay for actual usage above the monthly minimum.
+Added: The Company also offers subscriptions to access a unified security web application and application programming interface at a fixed rate.
+Added: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, where revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
+Added: The processing and recording of certain revenue requires a manual process, which uses a complex set of procedures to generate complete and accurate data to record these revenue transactions.
+Added: The Company enters
+Added: into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, each of which are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
+Added: Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
+Added: The Company's contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer.
+Added: Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment.
+Added: Performance obligations generally represent stand-ready obligations that are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company.
+Added: These obligations can be network services, security, compute, professional services, support, and other edge cloud platform services.
+Added: Accordingly, the Company's revenue is recognized over time, consistent with the pattern of benefit provided to the customer over the term of the agreement.
+Added: For contracts with multiple performance obligations that are delivered over different time periods, the Company allocates the contract transaction price to each performance obligation using the estimated standalone selling price ("SSP") of each distinct good or service in the contract.
+Added: Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.
+Added: The Company analyzes separate sales of its products and services or the discounted list price per management's approved price list as a basis for estimating the SSP of these products and services.
+Added: In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the product or service separately, the Company determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs.
+Added: The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances.
+Added: In these instances, the Company may use information, such as geographic region and distribution channel, in determining the SSP.
+Added: The transaction price in a contract for usage-based services is typically equal to the minimum commit price in the contract plus any variable amounts of usage above the minimum commitment, less any discounts provided.
+Added: The transaction price in a contract that does not contain usage-based services is equal to the total contract value.
+Added: Because the Company's typical contracts represent distinct services delivered over time with the same pattern of transfer to the customer, usage-based consideration primarily related to actual consumption over the minimum commit levels is allocated to the period to which it relates.
+Added: The amount of consideration recognized for usage above the minimum commit price is limited to the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for providing services.
+Added: The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient for estimating and disclosing the variable consideration when variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation from its remaining performance obligations under these contracts.
+Added: Revenue on the Company's subscription services are recognized ratably over their respective contractual term.
+Added: At times, customers may request changes that either amend, replace, or cancel existing contracts.
+Added: Judgment is required to determine whether the specific facts and circumstances within the contracts should be accounted for as a separate contract or as a modification.
+Added: In contracts where there are timing differences between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component.
+Added: The Company has also elected the practical expedient to not measure financing components for any contract where the timing difference is less than one year.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of fees paid to network providers for bandwidth and to third-party network data centers for housing servers, also known as colocation costs.
−Removed: Cost of revenue also includes employee costs for network operation, build-out and support and services delivery, network storage costs, cost of managed services and software-as-a-service, depreciation of network equipment used to deliver our services, and amortization of network-related internal-use software.
−Removed: We enter into contracts for bandwidth with third-party network providers with terms of typically one year .
−Removed: These contracts generally commit us to pay minimum monthly fees plus additional fees for bandwidth usage above the committed level.
−Removed: We enter into contracts for colocation services with third-party providers with terms of typically three years .
+Added: Cost of revenue also includes employee costs for network operation, build-out and support and services delivery, network storage costs, cost of managed services and software-as-a-service, depreciation of network equipment used to deliver services, and amortization of network-related internal-use software.

+Added: The Company enters into contracts for colocation services with third-party providers with terms typically ranging from one to six years .
Research and Development Costs
−Removed: Research and development costs consist of primarily payroll and related personnel costs for the design, development, deployment, testing, and enhancement of our edge cloud platform.
−Removed: Costs incurred in the development of our edge cloud platform are expensed as incurred, excluding those expenses which met the criteria for development of internal-use software.
+Added: Research and development costs consist of primarily payroll and related personnel costs for the design, development, testing, and enhancement of the Company's edge cloud platform.
+Added: Research and development expenses also include cloud infrastructure fees for development and testing.
+Added: Costs incurred in the development of the Company's edge cloud platform are expensed as incurred, excluding those expenses which meet the criteria for development of internal-use software.

+Added: The Company recognized total advertising expense of approximately $ 2.5 million, $ 2.3 million and $ 3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
−Removed: We account for stock-based employee compensation plans under the fair value recognition and measurement provisions, which require all stock-based payments, including grants of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), performance stock awards ("PSUs") and shares issued under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") to be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.
−Removed: We account for forfeitures as they occur.
−Removed: The fair value of RSUs and RSAs granted to our employees and directors is based on the grant date fair value.
−Removed: The fair value of PSUs granted to our employees is based on the fair value determined when the performance metrics were set.
−Removed: The fair value of stock options granted to our employees and directors, and of the shares to be issued under our ESPP are based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
−Removed: The determination of the fair value of a stock-based award is affected by the deemed fair value of the underlying stock price on the grant date, as well as assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables.
−Removed: These variables include the fair value of our common stock, the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the options, stock option exercise and cancellation behaviors, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividends:
−Removed: These assumptions and estimates are as follows:
−Removed: • Fair Value of Common Stock.
−Removed: We use the market closing price of our Class A common stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, for the fair value.
−Removed: Prior to our IPO, our board of directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock at each meeting at which awards are approved.
−Removed: These factors included, but were not limited to (i) contemporaneous third-party valuations of Common Stock;
−Removed: (ii) the rights and preferences of Series Preferred relative to Common Stock;
−Removed: (iii) the lack of marketability of Common Stock;
−Removed: (iv) developments in the business;
−Removed: and (v) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an IPO or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions.
−Removed: • Expected Term.
−Removed: The expected term represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding.
−Removed: The expected term assumptions were determined based on the vesting terms, exercise terms, and contractual lives of the options.
−Removed: The expected term was estimated using the simplified method allowed under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance.
−Removed: • Volatility.
−Removed: The expected volatility is derived from an average of the historical stock volatilities of the common stock of the Company.
−Removed: In prior years the expected volatility calculation also included the historical stock volatilities of comparable companies as we did not have a long enough trading history of our common stock .
−Removed: Comparable companies consist of public companies in our industry, which are similar in size, stage of life cycle, and financial leverage.
−Removed: • Risk-free Interest Rate.
−Removed: The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is the implied yield available on U.S.
−Removed: Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to that of the options for each expected term.
−Removed: • Dividend Yield.
−Removed: The expected dividend assumption is based on our current expectations of our anticipated dividend policy.
−Removed: We have no history of paying any dividends and therefore used an expected dividend yield of zero.
−Removed: Foreign Currency Translation
−Removed: The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S.
−Removed: The local currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are the Australian dollar, British pound, Euros, Japanese yen, and the Swedish Kroner or the Japanese yen as the functional currency.
−Removed: Our foreign subsidiaries remeasure monetary assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates, while non-monetary items are remeasured at historical rates.
−Removed: Revenue and expenses are remeasured at the average rate in effect during the period.
−Removed: Resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
−Removed: Gains and losses on intercompany and other non-functional currency transactions are recorded in other income (expense), net.
−Removed: We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.
−Removed: Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
+Added: The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the grant-date fair value of the awards.
+Added: The fair values of the restricted stock units ("RSUs"), restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and performance stock awards ("PSUs") are based on the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date.
+Added: The fair values of stock options and ESPP are based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
+Added: The fair value of the market-based performance stock awards ("MPSUs") is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.
+Added: The determination of the fair value of a stock-based award is affected by the deemed fair value of the underlying stock price on the grant date, as well as assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables, including expected term and stock price volatility of the awards.
+Added: Stock-based compensation expense for awards with service-based vesting only is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally four years .
+Added: In addition to service-based conditions, stock-based compensation expense for awards that have performance-based or market-based conditions are recognized over the requisite service period for each separately-vesting tranche as though each tranche of the award is its own separate grant, which results in an accelerated recognition of compensation cost.
+Added: The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
+Added: Foreign Currency
+Added: The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the U.S.
+Added: The monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the U.S.
+Added: dollar of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are remeasured into U.S.
+Added: dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, while non-monetary items are remeasured at historical rates.
+Added: Revenue and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates during the period.
+Added: Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: The aggregate transaction gain or loss for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 is included in the determination of net income for the period and was not material to the respective periods.
+Added: The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.
+Added: Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
−Removed: We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized.
−Removed: In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.
−Removed: If we determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
−Removed: We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
−Removed: We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
+Added: The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized.

+Added: The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
Accrued interest and penalties are included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.
−Removed: Comprehensive Loss
−Removed: Comprehensive loss consists of two components:
−Removed: net loss and other comprehensive income (loss).
−Removed: Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to gains and losses that are recorded as an element of stockholders' equity and are excluded from net loss.
−Removed: Our other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments and gain (loss) on investments in available-for-sale securities.
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
−Removed: Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities.
+Added: Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
+Added: Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, shares issuable under its employee stock purchase place and performance stock awards.
+Added: The Company also applies the if-converted method for calculation of diluted per share for its convertible debt instruments.
+Added: As the Company has reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.
+Added: Prior to the Conversion, the Company's basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was presented in conformity with the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities.
Under the two-class method, net income is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights.
Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
−Removed: We do not consider the restricted stock awards and common stock issued upon early exercise of stock options as participating securities.
Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, shares issuable under our employee stock purchase place and performance stock awards.
−Removed: We also apply the if-converted method for calculation of diluted per share for our convertible debt instruments.
−Removed: As we have reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.
−Removed: On October 12, 2020, the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock represented less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of the then outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock.
−Removed: As a result, all outstanding shares of Class B common stock automatically converted into the same number of shares of Class A common stock on July 12, 2021, pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the "Certificate").
−Removed: In accordance with the Certificate, the shares of Class B common stock that converted to Class A common stock were retired and will not be reissued by us.

−Removed: ASU 2020-06 does not impact the accounting
−Removed: treatment for conversion features that are accounted for as a derivative under Topic 815.
−Removed: The update also requires the application of the if-converted method to be used for convertible instruments and the effect of potential share settlement be included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares.
−Removed: The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
−Removed: The amendment is to be adopted through either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective method of transition, only at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year.
−Removed: Early adoption is permitted.
−Removed: We have elected to early adopt the standard as of January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method of transition.

−Removed: As a result, we recorded our convertible debt as a single liability within long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
−Removed: We use the if-converted method for calculation of diluted earnings per share for our convertible debt instruments.
−Removed: In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance, Accounting Standard Update No.
−Removed: 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which establishes the principles to report transparent and economically neutral information about the assets and liabilities that arise from leases.
−Removed: Accordingly, this new standard introduces a lessee model that brings most operating leases on the balance sheet and also aligns certain of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the new revenue recognition standard.
−Removed: We adopted the standard on December 31, 2020, presenting the initial application of ASC 842 beginning on January 1, 2020 (i.e.
−Removed: adoption effective date), using the modified retrospective approach and has elected to use the optional transition method which allows us to apply the guidance of ASC 840, including disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented.
−Removed: In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new
−Removed: standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification related to agreements entered prior to adoption.
−Removed: We have also elected the:
−Removed: (i) short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, whereby we will not recognize right-of-use ("ROU" assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition;
−Removed: (ii) practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases;
−Removed: and (iii) use hindsight in determining the lease term, assessing the likelihood that a lease purchase option will be exercised and in assessing the impairment of right-of-use assets.
−Removed: Upon adoption of ASC 842, we recognized $ 54.7 million of ROU assets and $ 56.3 million of lease obligations related to operating leases, which represents the present value of the lease payments discounted using our incremental borrowing rate ("IBR").
−Removed: The accounting for finance leases remained unchanged as compared to ASC 840.
−Removed: The cumulative impact of transition to retained earnings, recorded as of the adoption date, was not material.
−Removed: The cumulative effect adjustment recorded to accumulated deficit as of the adoption date was not material.

−Removed: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces a new methodology for accounting for credit losses on financial instruments, including available-for-sale debt securities.
−Removed: The guidance establishes a new “expected loss model” that requires entities to estimate current expected credit losses on financial instruments by using all practical and relevant information.
−Removed: Any expected credit losses are to be reflected as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities.

−Removed: In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No.
−Removed: 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805) .

−Removed: Revenue recognition
−Removed: Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.
−Removed: The processing and recording of certain revenue requires a manual process, which uses a complex set of procedures to generate complete and accurate data to record these revenue transactions.
−Removed: We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, each of which are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
−Removed: Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
−Removed: A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account.
−Removed: Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer.
−Removed: Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment.
−Removed: For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract transaction price to each performance obligation using our estimate of the standalone selling price ("SSP") of each distinct good or service in the contract.
−Removed: Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.
−Removed: We analyze separate sales of our products and services as a basis for estimating the SSP of our products and services.
−Removed: We then use the SSP as the basis for allocating the transaction price when our product and services are sold together in a contract with multiple performance obligations.
−Removed: In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs.
−Removed: We typically have more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances.
−Removed: In these instances, we may use information, such as geographic region and distribution channel, in determining the SSP.
−Removed: The transaction price in a contract for usage-based services is typically equal to the minimum commit price in the contract less any discounts provided.
−Removed: The transaction price in a contract that does not contain usage-based services is equal to the total contract value.
−Removed: Because our typical contracts represent distinct services delivered over time with the same pattern of transfer to the customer, usage-based consideration primarily related to actual consumption over the minimum commit levels is allocated to the period to which it relates.
−Removed: The amount of consideration recognized for usage above the minimum commit price is limited to the amount we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for providing services.
−Removed: We have elected to apply the practical expedient for estimating and disclosing the variable consideration when variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation from our remaining performance obligations under these contracts.
−Removed: Performance obligations represent stand-ready obligations that are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by us.
−Removed: These obligations can be content delivery, security, subscription services, professional services, support, edge cloud platform services, and others.
−Removed: Accordingly, our revenue is recognized over time, consistent with the pattern of benefit provided to the customer over the term of the agreement.
−Removed: At times, customers may request changes that either amend, replace, or cancel existing contracts.
−Removed: Judgment is required to determine whether the specific facts and circumstances within the contracts should be accounted for as a separate contract or as a modification.
−Removed: In contracts where there are timing differences between when we transfer a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service, we have determined our contracts do not include a significant financing component.
−Removed: We have also elected the practical expedient to not measure financing components for any contract where the timing difference is less than one year.
−Removed: Nature of products and services
