I am thrilled to announce that the Fig team will be joining Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Amazon has acquired Fig.ioโs technology. See the announcement here
Fig and AWS share a passion for improved developer tools and services. By combining Figโs expertise with AWSโ long-term orientation and track record of delivering customer-centric products, we see an opportunity to enhance the developer experience.
Existing users will continue to be able to use Fig and will receive ongoing support. In fact, we are now making all the paid Fig Team features completely free. New users will not be able to sign up for Fig.ioโs products right now while we focus on optimizing them for existing customers and addressing some needs identified to integrate Fig with AWS.
As always, we are incredibly thankful to our community for its continued support. With hundreds of thousands of users, 22k GitHub stars, 13k Discord members, 400 open source contributors, and 5 core products, we could not be more proud of what you have helped us accomplish over the last 3 years.
We canโt wait to continue to innovate with you.

@brendanfalk could we at least get a rough estimate for when signups will be allowed again? I only learned about fig because there's a lot of buzz created about it from it being acquired by AWS, as I'm sure a lot of others have.
I'm looking forward to using it, but that being said it's definitely not a good look for potential new users to be greeted with an ASCII text response in the web browser saying "new signups are currently disabled" without any further context.

I doubt this project will ever enable SignUps again. AWS doesn't acquire orgs to keep them or their projects alive. It acquires them so that it can add take their USP and add it exclusively to AWS, and eventually monetize it.
I would be very, very surprised if Fig accepts signups ever again. The next I am expecting to see of fig is inside AWS, potentially integrated into AWS-CLI or something similar.

Ugh 1 day of deleting peoples comments and then 2 weeks of silence for users...
I already recreated all the useful parts of fig in my own setup repo. People can't afford downtime like this.
@miclgael Did you create a fork of fig? or grab the functions you were using from fig and put them in your new macbook setup repo? Did you find an alternative for the fig cli dropdown autocomplete?
This is extremely disappointing. I've been watching this thread and it hasn't progressed. At this point I can assume Fig is abandonware. Perhaps it's time to fork it and have a community maintain it.

....and now Fig is buckling, as many open-source or startup companies do when they get acquired or backed by the giants. Seriously disappointed with you guys, especially as a former worker for a partner to Fig.

It was the entire time, with absolutely 0 communication from the team for many months. Extremely disappointed with the team, awful misuse of trust by the community in a section of software development where users need it the most.

I've recently reverted from codewhisperer to fig due to ongoing issues that codewhisperer has not patched since release. This includes aliases not beign recognized and most recently that there are dozens of long lived zsh sessions that get orphaned running on my machine. Not only that bug fig is consistently faster than codewhisperer.
If these issues still persist after Sep 1, I'll just have to go back to a figless life because codewhisperer is not production ready.
I was aware that new signups were not working, But here i was hoping to still be able to use my already installed fig :(
Guess it phones home somehow since i forgot to check the "Disable AutoUpdate"

That upgrade banner is adding insult to injury, dear god
I guess my terminal is going to suck a lot more going forward then.
Anyone know of another free alternative (No, I don't want a free trial on Bezosware)

Ever since it changed to Amazon Q i've been having issue after issue, before it just worked. Anyone know if there is any alternative aside from warp? I would like to have it integrate with the vscode terminal, and i remember that not being possible with warp.
This is the worst thing ever & we are not even allowed to keep using an older version.
If the only choice is use aws q or uninstall I will uninstall.
Waiting on someone doing a free opensource alternative

And the worst thing is that you disabled new signups ...
[Update]
It seems that CodeWhisperer is now available for everyone to try.

@CrazyByDefault if that's true then they should close up shop with their current website, etc, because what's here currently is misleading at best.
