Scheduled
On February 26, 2024 starting with 03:00 CET during a time frame of 3 hours, we'll be updating the DB engine to MySQL 8.0 on all production instances still running on MySQL 5.7 on our European cluster. During this time, the wp-admin can become inaccessible for brief periods of time while the new version is applied. The public sites should not be affected and they will work normally. For any inquiries during this time don't hesitate to contact us at support@presslabs.com.
Upgrade schedule for the EU cluster: 10:00 - 13:00 Hong Kong/Singapore 07:30 - 10:30 AM IST 02:00 - 05:00 AM UTC 03:00 - 06:00 AM CET 04:00 - 07:00 AM EEST
Expected impact: 2-3 intervals of up to 2 minutes each of unavailability for: - logged-in users (WooCommerce, LearnDash, membership plugins, etc.) - the editorial team working in the wp-admin area - dynamic pages from the public websites, such as search & contact forms
We recommend you to test this new version on your development instance, as they have already been upgraded to MySQL 8 for about 3 weeks. If you find any problems before the maintenance, please drop us an email at support@presslabs.com containing the Subject: "MySQL 8.0 upgrade problems"
MySQL 8 brings performance improvements as well as more features and faster operations, while the extended support for MySQL 5.7 has ended in November 2023.
