Cloud deployment platform Zeabur is winding down operations, according to a user email sent by founder Lin Yuanlin. The company said some services will begin shutting down from Dec. 1, while all dedicated servers and shared clusters will be taken offline by Dec. 31. Users were advised to back up their data and make migration plans as early as possible. The shutdown decision followed two security incidents this year. Zeabur said it suffered one security event in August and another attack in October. According to the platform’s official status page, attackers gained read access to its database in the latest incident. The exposed scope involved service environment variables, account information and API tokens, while some Google Cloud dedicated servers were also accessed without authorization. Lin said the team had already started discussing whether to continue operating the platform after the August incident. After the second attack, the company reassessed the resources needed to keep running the service and the level of responsibility it could bear, and then chose to shut it down. He also said the past year had been Zeabur’s fastest period of growth, driven by AI apps such as n8n, OpenClaw and Vibe Coding, though AI also lowered deployment barriers and created new limits for growth. The team plans to release Markdown migration guides and Skills for Claude Code and Codex to help users move existing services.

Cloud deployment platform Zeabur will gradually cease operations, founder Lin Yuanlin said in an email to users. Some services will begin stopping from Dec. 1, and all dedicated servers and shared clusters will be shut down by Dec. 31.

The company advised users to back up data and arrange migrations as soon as possible. The decision was tied to repeated security incidents on the platform. Zeabur experienced a security event in August and was attacked again in October.

According to the official status page, attackers obtained read access to the platform database in the latest incident. The affected data included service environment variables, account information and API tokens. Some Google Cloud dedicated servers were also accessed without authorization.

Lin said in the email that the team began discussing whether to continue operating after the August security incident. After the second attack, it reassessed the investment required to keep the service running and the level of responsibility it could take on, then decided to shut the platform down.

He added that the past year had been the platform’s fastest period of growth. AI applications including n8n, OpenClaw and Vibe Coding drove demand for cloud deployment, but AI also lowered deployment barriers and left the platform facing growth constraints.

The team will also provide Markdown migration guides and Skills for Claude Code and Codex to help users move existing services.
