Friday night email? Are they ashamed to announce this or excited?

"On August 31st, 2027, all cloud apps will shut down" ... so, just 8 days to migrate production dependence on them?? These super small timelines are becoming way more common now-a-days... people need to be careful what external dependencies they bring into their projects. Update: It's 2027, not 2026 ... so, this one is fine...

Strange. Not a lot of information on their decision making. Have they been bought by OpenAI? Is OpenAI building something similar and they’re buying the tech? Why sunset?
