That's a bummer, I really liked using bit.io for little experiments. That being said i never paid for it so i can't really complain.

This is crazy. 30 days to migrate? Hope nobody is taking a holiday in the next couple of weeks.

#33Enjoyed using bit.io. Excited to see what Adam, Jmo and crew do at databricks.
Was easy to export my dbs from bit.io -- did so this morning.

Neon is an awesome serverless Postgres: https://neon.tech/
Till the time they are also bought and "sunsetted." That's the problem with all these shiny startups.
Neon at least has open-sourced their core offering, which provides a migration path for folks who make bigger bets on their platform. So yeah, there's every possibility they'll go away at some point, but unlike a lot of SaaS offerings, it's all Postgres over the wire and under the hood, so you have plenty of migration options (OSS, another managed Postgres vendor, Aurora, Cloud SQL, etc.)

#35What benefits does one get from using bit.io or other equivalents compared to the AWS built in Aurora? is their offering different and I'm just confused by the jargon?
It takes < 10 seconds to go from no account to database w/ bit.io

I'm surprised databricks (effectively) is willing to shutter a database service with 1 months notice.
What does that say about their own products? What if you integrate their products and are locked to their platform without any easy migration options?
If they lose interest on one of their own services, you very well may have 1 month to move, and 2 months to have a chance at keeping your data.

#37Going to beat a dead horse, but 30 days to migrate your database over ? I hope nobody was seriously using it in production, otherwise it's going to be a fun month for them.

Not this one though, they are open source so someone else would start to offer new hosted instances: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon
Some Helm charts: https://github.com/neondatabase/helm-charts
It could potentially be one of their partners:

Seriously. Well, I guess their customer roster isn't all that impressive. Sounds like they're willing to burn them.
