Hello everyone!
Wikibase.cloud offers the Wikibase software as a service. It's based on the code used to run WBStack https://www.wbstack.com/ but will be managed and maintained by Wikimedia Deutschland. We are hard at work on this platform and plan to launch it by the end of the first quarter of 2022. Since WBStack is going to be closed at some point our priority is to migrate current users to the new platform.
Initially, Wikibase.cloud will launch as a closed beta for WBStack users who registered before February 2nd, 2022 with a waiting list for later expansion. To join the waiting list, please fill out this form https://lime.wikimedia.de/index.php/717538. Please note that the waitlist will be considered after WBStack migration has completed.
For current users of WBStack, you do not need to join this waitlist. You will receive an email with details on how you can opt-in to a migration to wikibase.cloud in March.
Thank you for your interest and your patience. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask here or use the dedicated list we recently set up for Wikibase.Cloud https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/wikibase-cloud.lists.wikimedia.org/ .
Cheers,
