Interestingly we just went through basically the same upgrade just a couple days ago for similar reasons. We run Amazon Aurora MySQL and Amazon is finally forcing us to upgrade to 8.0.
We ended up spinning up a secondary fleet and bin log replicating from our 5.7 master to the to-be 8.0 master until everything made the switch over.
I was frankly surprised it worked, but it did. It went really smoothly.
- takeda 2y agoAFAIK the 8.0 release is one where Oracle breaks compatibility. So anyone considering MariaDB needs to switch before going to 8.0, otherwise switching will be much more painful.
- paulryanrogers 2y agoIIRC it wasn't a big break from 5.7 unless you used some odd grouping or relied on its old+lossy defaults. Though the single threaded performance fell off a cliff, tanking my CI performance. Maria DB evolved very differently. I'm not sure how they stack up performance wise.
- donatj 2y agoYou can re-enable the old group by behavior, which we did.
