supported mysql versions
Hey folks. I apologize if this question has already been asked. I recently updated my AWS RDS cluster from MySQL 8.0 to MySQL 8.4 and it looks like it's no longer compatible with Hyperdrive. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

Not a known issue, 8.4 is supported. I just double checked and we use 8.4.4 in a bunch of our CI at the moment, actually.
Thanks for the repliy @AJR . I'll keep digging.
My bet is some defaults changed, depending on what you're upgrading from. Things like default connection handshake settings, default auth plugin, and a bunch of stuff like that changed around then for MySQL
Good luck, and give us a shout if you have any Hyperdrive questions we can answer for you
There we go. Just had to use the CLI to see the error message 😎

Ah there we are. So you should be able to configure the auth plugin to whatever you'd been using before the upgrade and you should be back in shape
