Poem

🐰
I hopped from file to page today,
A little history found a new way,
Redirects whisper, TOCs grow light,
Old pages rest, the story’s right,
Hooray — the doc garden’s bright! 🌿

97-97: Redirect configuration looks good.

The redirect correctly maps the old history page to the consolidated what-is-fluent-bit page, maintaining backward compatibility and following the existing redirect pattern.

13-19: Consolidation structure and integration are solid.

The history content is seamlessly integrated after the existing embedded video. The narrative effectively covers the project's origins (2014), motivation (lightweight processor for constrained environments), founder attribution (Eduardo Silva), and evolution (from embedded systems to cloud-native deployment). The integration maintains logical flow and enhances the "What is Fluent Bit?" page without disrupting existing content.
