It would be interesting to get the Opbeat's founders perspective on why they'd sell and close a product they've been working on since 2012. Just to soon do it again, but this time for someone else's company.

Thomas here (Node.js lead from Opbeat). Don't worry, we are not closing down Opbeat :) We'll continue to run the current version of Opbeat via opbeat.com until we can port users to the new Elastic APM product that we are currently developing

Hi Thomas, fellow Copenhagen developer here. I understand how you are transitioning the product to Elastic APM. I'm simply curious of the motives. Why would you want to do that instead of building your own product at your own company? Wasn't Opbeat profitable, yet?
