Steve Krouse announced Val Town is shutting down, citing an inability to compete in cloud computing. The team is helping users migrate to Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, and Render, noting that today's LLMs handle such migrations well.
Timeline: new signups end Nov 10, 2026; read-only mode Dec 10, 2026; all services end Jan 10, 2027; the platform will be open-sourced Feb 1, 2027. Billing is paused today, existing subscriptions are serviced for free, and annual pre-pays get partial refunds.
