I'm a bit new to authoring content in markdown. I wonder how you guys ensure that redirects are made when changing slugs or folders of the content? Typically CMS can handle making those redirects but it seems a bit painful and manual with markdown. Are out there any tools that make that easier? I don't believe Astro has anything built in for it, right? I was thinking about Github action that gives heads up about changed urls?

You can get the history of renames from your git history and generate the redirects configuration
Interesting idea to publish as an integration or at least as a Starlight plugin...
git diff --stat=200 --diff-filter=R <COMMIT> src/content/<collectionName>
Will give you an output like this:

src/content/docs/ar/{core-concepts => basics}/astro-components.mdx
src/content/docs/de/{core-concepts => basics}/astro-components.mdx
src/content/docs/de/{core-concepts => basics}/astro-pages.mdx
src/content/docs/de/{core-concepts => basics}/astro-syntax.mdx
src/content/docs/de/{core-concepts => basics}/layouts.mdx

You can then parse that into and either make individual redirects or extract patterns to make a dynamic redirect
