@zuiderkwast @madolson Appreciate your review on this

[zuiderkwast]

Seems fine to me. I don't know Ballerina, but that's my problem. :)

@zuiderkwast You're always welcome to try out this new programming language, [specialized in integration].(https://ballerina.io/usecases/integration/)

btw, thanks for your support on this. Can I know when we can expect these changes in the live site?

It should be live automatically after it's merged. I just checked and it's not visible so I started wondering. I found languages.json. My guess is that we need to add Balleria there.

I opened a PR but I realized I can't approve and merge my own PR. If you're in hurry, you can open another PR just like mine and I can approve and merge it.

I was creating the duplicate PR and then only realized someone else has approved your original one :D thanks for your time on this anyway

[zuiderkwast]

Haha, sorry, I'm too impatient. :) Anyway, now it's live and Ballerina is visible.

However, the link doesn't work. The URL is part of the filename clients/ballerina/github.com/redis/ballerinax-redis.json. It generates a link to github.com/redis/ballerinax-redis which is wrong. We need to rename/move the file.

Again, I didn't review this properly. Sorry for this.

Can you fix it in another PR?

It seems both of us realized it at the same time 😃 I've been already working on it and just sent the PR fixing that.

Apologies for the mistake and appreciate your review on #2685

[zuiderkwast]

Merged. Now the link works. Thanks!

[NipunaRanasinghe]

Merged. Now the link works. Thanks!

Thanks again @zuiderkwast! btw I just noticed that additional information (e.g. the license, number of github stars) are not shown for the Ballerina client, even though I have correctly pointed out the repo link in the metadata. Do you have any idea on what might have gone wrong?

[zuiderkwast]

I believe it's some cache. Let's wait 24h and see if it gets updated.

IIRC the website rendering code is in https://github.com/redis/redis-website if you want to investigate how it works.

@zuiderkwast As it's been more than 24 hours and the information still not updated, I believe there maybe something else gone wrong here 🤔 I had a look into https://github.com/redis/redis-website as well, but no luck so far.

In that case, is there anyone else from whom we can ask for help?

@itamarhaber @zuiderkwast it's still the same. Really appreciate your support on this!

@NipunaRanasinghe Redis® is no longer open source. I'm out.

Working on forking now.
