Support for DigitalOcean managed database MySQL LTS

Posted on January 9, 2026

I’m looking to update my managed database mysql instance to 8.4 but can only see 8.0 still. As this has been flagged as end of life, it is important to keep up to date with the latest LTS versions of software. Not keeping managed services up to date defeats the intention of having them managed in the first place.

Do we have a timeframe for when we can see 8.4 made available? For timing reference: https://endoflife.date/mysql
