Addressing MySQL 8.0 EOL: Key Impacts and Risks in DBaaS Environments MySQL 8.0 EOL is approaching in April 2026. Many companies understand the necessity but are stuck, unable to determine where to start or what to prioritize. In particular, organizations using production DBaaS environments such as Amazon RDS, Aurora, or Cloud SQL face a surge in critical considerations—including increased costs from Extended Support, compatibility issues, performance impacts, and downtime—making decision-making significantly more complex. As a result, many fall into patterns of 'only progressing with investigation but unable to decide' or 'delaying due to uncertainty.'

Why EOL Migration Is So Challenging EOL migration isn't just a simple version upgrade. It requires a series of strategic decisions, including: - Assessing the scope of impact - Identifying and organizing risks - Structuring evaluation points - Clarifying internal and vendor responsibilities However, many teams begin implementation without proper analysis, leading to unexpected issues and cost overruns.

The Need to Understand DBaaS-Specific Risks and Strategies When planning EOL migration, the key considerations differ across DBaaS platforms like RDS, Aurora, and Cloud SQL. For example: - Amazon RDS for MySQL: Upgrade paths and compatibility risks - Amazon Aurora MySQL: Dependencies on proprietary features and performance characteristics - Google Cloud SQL: Migration options and differences in operational design Proceeding without understanding these differences risks downtime, performance degradation, and unexpected increases in effort—directly impacting business operations.

What This Seminar Covers This seminar focuses on MySQL 8.0 EOL migration in DBaaS environments (RDS, Aurora, Cloud SQL), organizing a fail-safe upgrade strategy into actionable decision frameworks. Rather than just explaining procedures, the goal is to empower participants to independently evaluate what needs to be considered, what to watch for, and how to organize their planning. Key takeaways include: - A comprehensive overview of impact areas and risks in EOL migration - What happens at MySQL 8.0 EOL, including DBaaS-specific issues - Migration strategies and key considerations for RDS, Aurora, and Cloud SQL - How to plan upgrade paths based on service-specific characteristics - Frameworks for structuring the evaluation process - Practical approaches including verification and testing - Common post-upgrade issues and mitigation strategies - Typical failure patterns and how to avoid them This session goes beyond treating EOL as a mere task, equipping attendees with the perspectives needed to assess impact, manage risks, and move forward confidently.

Who Should Attend - Professionals using Amazon RDS, Aurora, or Cloud SQL in production - Teams using MySQL 8.0 but haven't started EOL planning - IT leaders, system administrators, and development managers responsible for technical decisions - Anyone who needs to explain upgrade impacts, risks, and costs based on their own judgment - Organizations aiming to make informed decisions in-house, rather than relying solely on vendors If you want to move beyond treating EOL as a checklist and instead build internal consensus and a clear path forward, this webinar is for you.
