Sentinel is now Zentinel

[raffaelschneider]

We've completed the rebrand from Sentinel to Zentinel. Same proxy, same team, new name.

New home

• Website: zentinelproxy.io
• Docs: docs.zentinelproxy.io
• Install: curl -fsSL https://get.zentinelproxy.io | sh
• Crates: All published as zentinel-* on crates.io

All old URLs still work

• sentinel.raskell.io → redirects to zentinelproxy.io
• getsentinel.raskell.io → redirects to get.zentinelproxy.io
• github.com/raskell-io/sentinel* → redirects to new org
• Old sentinel-* crates on crates.io → deprecation notice pointing to zentinel-*

What you need to do

• Update install scripts to use get.zentinelproxy.io (old URL keeps working)
• Update Cargo.toml deps from sentinel-* to zentinel-*
• Update bookmarks/links (redirects handle this automatically)

Full details in the blog post.

If you hit any issues with the migration, please comment here or open an issue.

Hi,
Will there be a discussion group, example., on Discord, to ask questions and chat more quickly? :)

@raffaelschneider I wanted to ask when you plan to implement “hybrid" cache? :)

Hi @adammakowskidev

I had thought about it. I have a full time job (which is not maintaining zentinel), but I can definitely open a Discord server for this purpose.

Hey @adammakowskidev, great question! I've opened #97 to track the hybrid cache implementation, memory for hot entries, disk for cold, with automatic promotion/demotion. The foundation is already there (both memory and disk backends are fully working), so it's mostly about wiring them together. I'll have it implemented ASAP.
