Planet MySQL has always been about discovering what’s happening across the MySQL community. Now, there’s even more to explore. We’ve added new ways to discover the projects and products that make up the broader MySQL ecosystem, find upcoming MySQL events, and search the wealth of content shared by the community. At the center of these updates is our biggest addition: the new MySQL Ecosystem Showcase.
Explore the MySQL Ecosystem Showcase
MySQL is much more than a database. An extensive ecosystem of tools, applications, services, libraries, connectors, and other technologies has grown around it.
Inspired by Shlomi Noach’s Awesome MySQL list and Alkin Tezuysal’s fork of that list, the new MySQL Ecosystem Showcase builds on the idea of bringing useful MySQL-related projects and products together in one place, making it easier for the community to discover what’s available.
The Showcase currently includes 108 entries across 16 categories, spanning areas such as Administration Tools, Backup & Recovery, DevOps & Containers, Monitoring & Observability, and Performance & Query Analysis, among many others.
Whether you’re looking for a tool to help administer MySQL, a connector for your application, an observability solution, a migration utility, or simply want to see what others are building with MySQL, the Showcase offers a new way to explore the breadth of the ecosystem.
The Showcase is intended to reflect the broader MySQL ecosystem, so community submissions are welcome. If you would like to suggest a project or product for inclusion in the MySQL Ecosystem Showcase, please visit the Suggest a Project page.
Keep Up with MySQL Events
We’ve also added an Events Calendar dedicated to upcoming MySQL-related events.
The calendar provides a central place to discover conferences, meetups, webinars, community gatherings, and other events relevant to MySQL users and developers.
For those who prefer to keep up with events through their favorite feed reader or other tools, the Events Calendar also has a separate RSS feed.
And because the MySQL community extends around the world, we want the community to help us make the calendar as useful and comprehensive as possible. If you would like to suggest a MySQL-related event for inclusion in the Planet MySQL Events Calendar, please visit the Event Suggestion page.

These additions are all aimed at making Planet MySQL a more useful resource for the entire MySQL community.
