Wow! Just checked my email and got this. I was considering using this, but KNEW I couldn’t have built parts of my infra around this, because of one thing: the pricing. I even sent a message on their website asking what their roadmap was. After not getting a response for days, I figured the end was nigh. It was far too low to build a sustainable business around, and so I decided to write my own stack. What I needed they served very well ( ability to run one-shot docker containers as an HTTP rpc ) — similar to AWS Fargate but much much simpler. Fargates’ RunTask is close but requires way too much configuration of roles and permissions and “provisioning” just to run a container. And even at the scale AWS is providing fargate, their pricing was still higher! I remember the AWS pricing being something like 5c / hr priced out in seconds, but with a minimum charge of 1 minute, but hyper.sh was 1c/hr with a min charge of only 10s! So, roughly here’s why they’re going out of business: the business requires very scaley things ( think dinosaur not lizard ) in order to make very small amounts of money. And it’s making 1/5th of the market dominant service.
