When will PythonAnywhere support MySQL 8.4? (8.0 reaches EOL this month)

Hi PythonAnywhere team,

MySQL 8.0 hits end-of-life this April 2026, and 8.4 is now the current recommended long-term version. Additionally, Django 6.1 (releasing in August 2026) will drop support for MySQL 8.0 entirely. Any plans or timeline for adding MySQL 8.4 support on PythonAnywhere?

Thanks so much — keep up the fantastic work!

It is on our roadmap, and we're working towards it, but we don't have an ETA.
