Business change and projects end, but how do you wrap up and sunset an app, especially one you've worked on for years?

In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we share a practical checklist for winding down an app when the whole company is closing. From documenting services and dependencies to deciding what data to retain, we cover backups, credentials, and why deleting local copies matters for security and sanity.

(02:15) - First goals: stop charges, purge data
