heroku-buildpack-mysql

This is a Heroku buildpack for vendoring the mysql and mysqldump binaries from the official MySQL repository.

It's a fork of the Everlane/heroku-buildpack-mysql. In this fork, the 'compile' command was written in bash and not in ruby, as heroku-22 stack and newer do not include ruby anymore.

Versions

• MySQL: 8.4 LTS
• Platform: Ubuntu 24.04
• OpenSSL: 3.0 compatible

Package Details

This buildpack installs the mysql-community-client-core package from the official MySQL repository, which includes:

• mysql client
• mysqldump utility

The current version uses MySQL 8.4 LTS which is natively compatible with OpenSSL 3.0, eliminating the need for additional SSL library dependencies.
