Firstly, this post is not to celebrate somebody losing their job, nor to poke fun at a company struggling in today’s market.
However, it might go some way to explaining why Portainer are tightening up the free Business plan from 5 to 3 nodes

My time at Portainer came to an end in May due to restructuring/layoffs. I am proud of the work the team and I put in. Being the Head of Marketing is challenging but I am thankful for the personal growth and all that we accomplished. Monday starts the search for my next role!
Another risk with Monitor, which may get better with time. Is that FOSS rust projects have a tendency to slow down or even stall due to the time cost of writing features, and the very small dev community available to pick up slack when original creators/maintainers drop off, burn out, or get too busy with life.
To be clear: I have nothing against rust. It’s a fantastic language filling in a crucial gap that’s existed for decades. However, it’s I’ll suited for app development, that’s just not it’s strength.
