visibility

Want to try AMP?
Please note:§ AMP is fast§ Constant challenge to keep AMP code validated§ AMP project is constantly evolving
If you work for big company:§ Analytics/business intelligence teams don’t like AMP§ Expect pushback from engineering about the new code stack to maintain§ Expect ROI questions from executives
