Inquiry about the support of MySQL as a backend metadata database in Airbyte.
Hi everybody, does Airbyte support MySQL as backend metadata database?

No, it uses Postgres for metadata (and Temporal also uses it). You can’t change this (although I’m assuming some Postgres-compatible drop-ins may work).
By default, it will deploy a Postgres server container and use that. You can also use an external Postgres server of your choice by customizing the values.yaml for your installation.
Thank you for the information. I just purchased shared hosting with a CPanel screen and unlimited MySQL databases. Is it possible to make my Airbyte deployment in a cluster to work with one of these MySQL databases?
