We’re excited to announce that dbdeployer is now maintained by the ProxySQL team.
What’s Changed
Since taking over in March 2026, we’ve:
- Modernized the stack — Go 1.22+, refreshed dependencies, fixed all CVEs
- Added MySQL 8.4 LTS and 9.x support — full compatibility with modern MySQL
- Built a provider architecture — extensible system for deploying different database types
- Integrated ProxySQL — deploy read/write split stacks with
--with-proxysql - Added PostgreSQL support — streaming replication, deb-based binary management
Why ProxySQL?
We use dbdeployer daily to test ProxySQL against every MySQL topology. When we took over maintainership, we saw an opportunity to make it useful for a much wider audience — anyone who needs local database sandboxes for development and testing.
What’s Next
- Orchestrator integration for failover testing
- More PostgreSQL topologies
- A proper website (you’re looking at it!)
