@ancient-wolf-19325 hey, can I use mysql as a database instead of Postgresql ?
a
Flyte does not officially support MySQL as a backend database. The platform and its core components (FlyteAdmin, DataCatalog) are designed and documented to use PostgreSQL, and there is no evidence in the provided data sources of MySQL being a supported or tested option. There was a feature request to add MySQL support, but it was closed without implementation or documentation of support for MySQL as a backend database for Flyte components such as FlyteAdmin or DataCatalog. If you need to use Flyte, you should use PostgreSQL as the database backend as per the official documentation and deployment configurations. MySQL is not mentioned as a supported alternative in any official deployment guides or configuration files. See details in this issue. Would you like more detail on how to configure PostgreSQL for Flyte?
