Countless technology users and web developers have realized their ideas and built their products using MySQL. Numerous organizations and modern enterprises are using MySQL to power mission-critical applications and create software packages. Most importantly, the steady and healthy growth of the MySQL community has made the ecosystem stronger than ever. Thank you for being part of this amazing journey. Let’s celebrate what we’ve achieved together in the last 20 years!
