Am I reading this right?: a CI company that shuts down CI services with such short notice?
Do service providers not think customers have other things to do than simply maintain their existing infrastructure?

Cirrus CI was on a downhill in terms of users and revenue for years now. Most of the customers moved to GHA already.

Realistically this is what you agree to when you want to use someone else's computer. They can just as easily ran out of money.

I don’t think they care about their customers at all, from the statement they consider their business a “byproduct”.
I mean, it’s no different than any other company who goes out of business. Yeah, their star rating on Yelp is gonna take a major hit, but on the other hand, they don’t exist anymore so shrug feel free to hold a grudge against them, I guess.
This is the risk we run when we get services from companies that aren’t Microsoft, IBM, etc. (I would say Google but LOL, they obviously kill products even faster than the startup death cycle).
Same thoughts. Guess the migration team responsible will have to kick up the gear.
