I understand not wanting to appear on "our incredible journey" blog or whatever with a bunch of sap, but surely more information can be made public without everyone emailing? Why shutting down? Why only a couple of weeks? Will the code be open sourced?

Customers got emails a few days before this, and they're getting a lot of help. It's easy to criticize but I think they're handling it pretty well.

"A few days before this" really isn't "handling this pretty well".

It's great that they (you?) are offering some assistance in transitioning to an alternative, but it's still a very crappy situation for customers during the holiday season with many people taking extra time off.

Considering the fact that they're going out of business, I wonder how many customers that is? Still a shitty time of year to do it, and a horribly small time window.

you're the kind person helping me move from backplane to fly.io!

[mrkurt]

That's me!

Not trying to criticize as I don't know the reasoning behind the decisions, hence my questions.

Open source would be very interesting to me (at least). Looking at their GitHub, it appears only some minor components are currently open : https://github.com/backplane
