❓MySQL: Upgrade from 8.0 to 8.4
This article provides information about the end of support for MySQL 8.0 and the necessary transition to the compatible version 8.4.
MySQL 8.0 EOL
MySQL 8.0 will reach its End of Life (EOL) in April 2026. After this date, Oracle will no longer provide security updates or bug fixes. This means that newly discovered vulnerabilities will no longer be patched.
Important security notice: Operating EOL software poses significant risks and may jeopardize compliance with regulations or audits.
