MySQL 8.0 End of Life Looms
Users have six months to migrate from MySQL 8.0 to stay on a supported version, or face security and reliability risks.
Percona, a provider of open source database support services, warns that over half of its MySQL instances remain on MySQL 8.0, which will lose support on April 30, 2026.
Every piece of complex software has bugs which may not have been found yet. Some of those bugs are also security bugs. These are the most problematic: when you have software which is not supported, not maintained, that means those bugs are not going to be fixed anymore.
Peter Zaitsev, Percona co-founder, highlights the importance of migrating to a supported version.
- 58% of MySQL and MariaDB instances are running MySQL 8.0.
- 18.8% are running version 5.
Author's summary: MySQL 8.0 support ends in 2026, posing security risks.
