What this section prints is decided by the calendar, not by anything the vendor did. 3 records here carry a date after 2026-11-14. The vendor has announced them and they have not taken effect, so they are not part of the history below. On its own date a record here joins the Pricing Change Timeline, below.
Amazon DevOps Guru shuts down on September 30, 2027. New customers have not been able to sign up since October 29, 2026. Existing customers can use it until September 30, 2027. After that date, the console and API become unavailable, past insights are no longer retrievable, and stacks declaring AWS::DevOpsGuru::ResourceCollection or AWS::DevOpsGuru::NotificationChannel fail to create or update. Running workloads are not interrupted. AWS recommends Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon DevOps Agent. Source ↗
Opsgenie shuts down on April 5, 2027, when it stops being accessible and Atlassian deletes any Opsgenie data that has not been moved. Existing customers can use it until then. Atlassian no longer sells Opsgenie. An owner who is also a site admin starts the move to Jira Service Management under Settings > Plan your move. Source ↗
Stackify Retrace, BMC Helix's SaaS application performance monitoring service, is in maintenance mode until its end of life on March 31, 2027: no new features, only critical fixes and security updates. After March 31, 2027, customers cannot log in, send data or access stored data, so anything worth keeping must be exported before then. Stackify Prefix itself is not being shut down on that date; only Premium support for Prefix ends. BMC Helix recommends Retrace customers move to BMC Helix AIOps with OpenTelemetry. Source ↗
Pricing Change Timeline
Every record we hold is listed here, newest first. A record is never removed from this list, so a vendor named here stays named here whatever its verdict does afterwards.

The free plan now offers 30,000 requests/month instead of 50,000. Source ↗

Grafana stated this safeguarded the platform against unauthorized emails. Source ↗

At-Risk Vendors
All 2 of the 59 vendors we list in this category that carry one. A vendor is named here for as long as a demotion is in force against it: a one-off pricing event, recorded against a source we cite, whose date falls in the last 180 days — or a standing condition, also cited, such as a product retired or a free tier withdrawn and not restored, which does not expire with time. A demotion can lift with nothing about the vendor having changed, and that happens on the day the vendor's newest qualifying event passes 180 days.
All 32 of the 59 vendors we list in this category that qualify, not a selection of them. A vendor is named here for as long as no demotion is in force against it and we hold no change record for it dated in the last 90 days — any record, including ones the timeline above does not count. A vendor can join this section on a day we recorded nothing about it, when the later of those two clocks runs out: 90 days after its newest record, or the day the demotion against it lapses. It leaves on the day we file a new record, or the day we can no longer vouch for the terms we list.
