I had to kill a free service that I absolutely loved due to similar issues.
Couldn’t find a way to monetize, running an old version of node. Upstart vs Systemd, a niche database (rethinkdb) that fell out of favor and upgrading was too painful.
It wasn’t nearly as popular as SSLPing, but it was mine and had a following.
Thanks for writing this note: it’s OK to shut something down if it causes you agony.
RethinkDB. What a blast from the past. They were such a compelling product, but they just never got the attention they deserved. Mongo by comparison was strictly worse, but they never got out from under Mongos shadow.
