Dear soup-users.

Thanks for sharing your sympathies. It is also a hard time for us. As some users asked regarding costs & revenue streams as about open sourcing soup.
We are currently paying near the 10,000€ mark per month and our revenue streams are at 1,500€.

The infrastructure and micro-services of soup became more and more complex over the years and the amount of data is huge, really huge. To serve nearly 6 million users is a resource-intensive duty.

This is also the reason why we dropped the idea of open-sourcing soup. It's too complex to maintain and to hand-over. 
We took the hard decision that we have to end it here. :(
