Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 and 2.4.9 are the last releases to support MySQL, with MySQL 8.4 being the final certified version. MySQL 8.0 reached end-of-support on April 30, 2026 for older releases (2.4.5-2.4.7), and Adobe recommends migrating those to MariaDB. Cloud requirements for 2.4.9 already recommend MariaDB 12.3 and no longer list MySQL. The community-driven Mage-OS 3.0 distribution also recommends MariaDB 11.4, showing ecosystem-wide convergence. MariaDB Migrator is offered as a tool to help with schema, data, and user migration. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 and 2.4.9 are the last releases that support MySQL, with MySQL 8.4 LTS being the final certified version. MySQL 8.0 reached Adobe's end-of-support date on April 30, 2026 for Adobe Commerce 2.4.5, 2.4.6, and 2.4.7. Adobe now lists MariaDB as the default and recommended database platform for Adobe Commerce going forward. _Track database compatibility shifts like this Adobe Commerce move to MariaDB on daily.dev before planning an upgrade._ ### Which MariaDB version should I use with Adobe Commerce 2.4.9? Adobe Commerce 2.4.9 on Cloud currently recommends MariaDB 12.3 and also supports MariaDB 11.8, with MySQL no longer listed in Cloud requirements. On-premises 2.4.9 still supports MySQL 8.4 alongside MariaDB 12.3, but MySQL 8.4 is the final MySQL release Adobe intends to certify, making MariaDB the forward-looking default. _daily.dev helps developers stay current on version-specific compatibility changes like this one before migrating._ ### What tool can help migrate an Adobe Commerce database from MySQL to MariaDB? MariaDB Migrator can assess and orchestrate the database transition, handling schema, data, users, and validation. Because MariaDB originated from the same lineage as MySQL, sharing SQL syntax, protocol compatibility, and tooling, the migration is framed as moving within a family rather than to an entirely different platform, though differences in optimizers, replication, and JSON behavior still require testing. _Developers weighing a MySQL to MariaDB migration can follow ecosystem shifts like this one on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [The clock's ticking for MySQL 8.0 as end of life looms](https://daily.dev/posts/the-clock-s-ticking-for-mysql-8-0-as-end-of-life-looms-jasht3a4g) · The Register · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source](https://daily.dev/posts/stop-using-mysql-in-2026-it-is-not-true-open-source-wleltp3iy) · Lobsters · 95 upvotes · 8 comments --- Tags: [#infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/infrastructure), [#database](https://daily.dev/tags/database), [#mysql](https://daily.dev/tags/mysql), [#magento](https://daily.dev/tags/magento) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/adobe-commerce-chooses-mariadb-as-its-default-database-platform-s3cned6zs)
