## AI overview

Appwrite announces native managed MySQL databases that can run inside the same project as an application's existing backend. The service supports MySQL 8.4 and 8.0, standard drivers and ORMs, TLS, backups and point-in-time recovery, replicas with automatic failover, database branches, scaling, and connection pooling.

## Source excerpt

Provision a managed MySQL 8.4 instance inside your Appwrite project and keep using the drivers, ORMs, and tools your applications already depend on.
