Upgrading to MySQL 8.4 LTS: A Complete Walkthrough

About This Session:

Now that MySQL 8.0 has officially reached End-of-Life, moving to MySQL 8.4 LTS is a priority for engineering teams looking to avoid security risks and rising AWS Extended Support surcharges.

In this recorded session, Mydbops Database Consultant Praveen GR walks step-by-step through real-world production upgrade paths—covering pre-upgrade assessments, testing, cutover strategies, and rollback realities.

Key Takeaways:

  • Pre-Upgrade Assessment: Using the MySQL upgrade checker to find breaking changes and deprecated syntax before touching production.
  • QA & Load Testing: Validating performance baselines, query latency, and ORM/driver compatibility under production-like traffic.
  • Cutover Strategies: Detailed execution workflows for AWS RDS Blue-Green Deployments and parallel replication setups with near-zero downtime.
  • Rollback & Stabilization: Managing directional rollback limits, standby retention, and post-upgrade monitoring.
