Announcing Planet Valkey

TL;DR: Planet Valkey replaces Planet for the Valkey Community. If you were following the old site, update your bookmarks because Planet for the Valkey Community will be retired. Also, if you enjoy Planet Valkey, please consider starring the GitHub repository and following us on social media (Mastodon, BlueSky Bridge, and X/Twitter).

I am pleased to announce the launch of Planet Valkey: a single destination for Valkey content.

Planet Valkey brings together content from across the ecosystem, including official project news, community blogs, cloud providers, vendors, media outlets, and independent contributors. Instead of following dozens of websites or hoping social media surfaces the content you care about, you can keep up with the latest Valkey developments from a single location.

You can access Planet Valkey here:

• Planet Valkey: https://planet.valkey.io/
• Atom feed: https://planet.valkey.io/atom.xml

The best way to follow Planet Valkey is through its Atom feed, using a feed reader such as CommaFeed, Feeder or Feedly. There are many other excellent feed readers available as well (recommendations on Reddit, Hacker News, and Read less). Alternatively, you can visit the Planet Valkey website directly and browse the latest posts.

Can I follow the news via the #planet-feed channel on the Valkey Slack?
Yes, but you will miss some news. I do not recommend it because Slack is a Suboptimal Feed Reader.

Planet for the Valkey Community was launched as an experimental demonstration. While it served its purpose, the URL (valkey-demo.oursqlcommunity.org) was never intended to be permanent. Reusing the Planet for the MySQL Community domain was convenient for the demo while we decided on a more permanent home for the project.

The new site is hosted under a URL more closely associated with the Valkey Project, gets rid of the "demo" branding, and has a cleaner name.

Planet Valkey is an open community project, and everyone is welcome to contribute. If you...

• Publish Valkey-related content and would like it to appear on Planet Valkey, submit your feed by filing an issue or opening a pull request.
• Are interested in learning more, proposing a feed, reporting an issue, or contributing improvements, visit the GitHub repository.
• Want to discuss the project, join the #planet-discussion channel in the Valkey Slack.
• Enjoy the project, please consider starring the repository and following us on social media (Mastodon, BlueSky Bridge, and X/Twitter).

Finally, I would like to thank AWS Open Source for providing two years’ worth of cloud-hosting credits. Their support helps make community infrastructure projects like Planet Valkey possible. I would also like to thank my co-maintainer, Bogdan Petre, for helping maintain the service.
