Small, independently-reviewable fixes from the #661 blog currency review. Each commit stands alone:

Preview base: https://pr-694.ddev-com-fork-previews.pages.dev/

Commit Page What it does Preview Live
6051309 (removed) ddev-docker-desktop-and-colima-benchmarking-updated-dec-2022 Removes the stale 2022 Docker Desktop/Colima benchmarking post (recommended --vm-type=qemu/--mount-type=sshfs, framed VirtioFS as experimental). Redirects to docker-performance-2023, its direct successor. redirect check (→ docker-performance-2023) live
6051309 docker-performance-2023 Dropped its now-dead link to the removed post (plain text instead). preview live
6051309 whats-so-different-about-ddev-local Repointed its "best performance" link at docker-performance-2023 instead of the removed post. preview live
8f7031b supercharge-your-ddev-performance-with-mutagen Flagged as a historical record instead of removed -- it has real value (benchmark charts, the Tag1 sponsorship story) and nothing else links to it. Added an update note correcting the "brand-new/experimental" framing. preview live
5bcf94d database-improvements Corrected: the celebrated switch to bitnami/mysql didn't stick (Bitnami changed its Docker Hub image terms in 2025, ddev/ddev#7470). Added an update note recording what actually happened. preview live
0cfa8d9 platform-sh-ddev-funding-changes Corrected: Platform.sh is now Upsun, the trademark/domain transfer described as upcoming completed in May 2026, and sponsorship levels have changed since. Points to /sponsor for current status instead of asserting new numbers. preview live
8e810f8 watch-ddev-local-new-casual-webhosting-feature Dropped the outdated 2020 screencast (obsolete DDEV UI) and fixed two links to a dead docs anchor, pointing them at the current topics/hosting/ page. preview live
198a58c eight-more-ways-to-get-the-most-out-of-ddev-local PHP version example/range updated to current (5.6-8.5), removed a pitch for the defunct DDEV-UI, and rewrote the "coming soon" telemetry paragraph in past tense. preview live

Notes

  • Verified rather than changed (no commit needed): ddev-backups's export-db/snapshot docs links both resolve fine; anatomy-advanced-ddev-addon's pinned commit links still resolve and its version pins are historical facts about a third-party build, not current-day guidance; arm64-apple-silicon-m1-ddev-local-what-does-it-all-mean was already fully fixed by a prior edit round.
  • Issue Blog review: currency and correctness (remove/improve list) #661 checkboxes updated to match.
  • Verified with ddev prettier, ddev textlint, and a full ddev npm run build (212 pages).

…dev#661

The Dec 2022 benchmarking post recommends --vm-type=qemu/--mount-type=sshfs
and frames VirtioFS as experimental; VirtioFS is now the standard, mature
choice and 9p mounting is gone. Redirect to docker-performance-2023, its
direct successor (that post already describes itself as "an update of the
same technique used in December 2022"). Fixed the two inbound links that
pointed at the removed post.

Kept rather than removed: it's the original 2021 announcement with real
value as history (the benchmark charts, the Tag1 sponsorship story), and
nothing else links to it. Added an update note correcting the
"brand-new/experimental" framing -- Mutagen is now the default, mature
performance mode on macOS/Windows, and NFS was removed in v1.25.0.

ddev#661

The post celebrates switching MySQL 8+ images to bitnami/mysql. Bitnami
changed the terms of its Docker Hub images in 2025 (ddev/ddev#7470) and
DDEV moved to Docker Hardened Image bases instead. Added an update note
recording what actually happened.

…-changes, for ddev#661

The post describes Platform.sh as a current lead sponsor at ~50% of income
and the trademark/domain transfer as upcoming. Platform.sh has since been
rebranded to Upsun, sponsorship levels have changed more than once, and the
trademark transfer completed in May 2026. Added an update note pointing to
the current sources instead of asserting new numbers here.

The embedded 2020 YouTube video showed an obsolete DDEV UI. Removed it,
along with the now-unneeded "Watch:" title framing and Videos category.
Also fixed two links to a dead docs anchor (alternate-uses/#casual-project-
webosting...), pointing them at the current topics/hosting/ page like the
other links in the post already did. No duplicated content was found in
the current text, so nothing else needed changing there.

…post, for ddev#661

- PHP version example and supported range updated from 7.4 to 8.4/8.5
  (verified against current docs).
- Removed the JSON-output pitch for DDEV-UI, which is defunct.
- Rewrote the "Coming soon" opt-in telemetry paragraph in past tense --
  usage instrumentation shipped years ago.
