Working in a SaaS, I'm always surprised by these companies giving two months notice before shutting down services that are powering pretty significant websites.

This move is going to cost companies using Gatsby Cloud a lot, especially if they had built tooling and workflows around Gatsby Cloud.

Why are they rushing this shutdown? 2 months seems really too little for me.

Also, Netlify is targeting enterprise customers more now, doesn't this two months notice give a bad impression to those kind of customers?

I'm honestly not sure if I am too scared by these quick moves or if it's going to be a real problem for someone.

Agreed. Unimpressed by netlify’s migration guide, which missed things like migrating headers, whether or not cms preview builds are offered, and whether or not there is incremental build support. It feels like a rushed document smothered in corporate platitudes and dns instructions.
