ICYMI: Cloud company Snowflake likely raised more than $4 billion during its IPO Wednesday, making it the biggest software company debut of all time.

Snowflake Inc. and JFrog Inc. produced a hot start Wednesday to the busiest week for initial public offerings in more than a year.

The action in Snowflake shares leading up to and including their debut Wednesday showed extraordinary demand. After originally filing for an IPO less than a month ago, Snowflake declared an expected price range of $75 to $85 a share last week. On Monday, the San Mateo, Calif., software company dramatically increased that range to $100 to $110 a share, then it priced higher than that target Tuesday.

Snowflake was not the only software company to debut Wednesday on Wall Street with smashing success. JFrog Ltd. FROG, which makes software that developers use to make other pieces of software, followed a similar track of raising its price range, pricing above its range and seeing the shares pop healthily in their debut. JFrog fell back a bit from its opening price, but still gained 47.3% from the IPO price to close at $64.79, which values the company at more than $5.7 billion.
