Description
Broadcom has announced that they are deleting the Bitnami docker images that this helm chart depends on. Existing installs of Postgres, mysql, and redis subcharts will break in August. Future installs using the :latest tag will be extremely fragile.
https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/35164
This chart will need to find replacements for these subcharts.
Perhaps integrating CloudNative Postgres will be a good replacement for the database., I already use it in production as an external database.
I am not aware of any production-ready Redis/Valkey templates or operators out there, so it is likely that a new Redis/Valkey template will have to be written for future Redis/Valkey support.

Start with the linked Bitnami issue and inspect the chart's current Postgres, MySQL, and Redis subchart dependencies. Evaluate production-ready replacements, including the suggested CloudNative PostgreSQL option, and define done as future installs and existing supported deployments no longer depending on images scheduled for deletion.
