- Your app already runs on MySQL
- You are on MySQL 8.0 and must upgrade
- Your hosting and tools assume MySQL
Look elsewhere when
- You need a published MySQL build to inspect, which we do not have
- The data is geospatial, where we used PostgreSQL with PostGIS
- Your team runs .NET and Azure, where we used Azure SQL

What buyers ask first
Is MySQL 8.0 still supported?
It moved to Oracle Sustaining Support on 21 April 2026, and Oracle suggests upgrading to 8.4 LTS or 9.7 LTS.
Do you have a published MySQL build?
No. We say so on the first call and show the nearest work, which is Azure SQL and PostgreSQL builds.
MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQL Server?
We have one published build on each of the last two. The choice follows your data, your hosting and your team, and we say so on the first call.
Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?
You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts stay in your name.
