Run a MySQL/MariaDB Sidecar

Some upstream services require MySQL or MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL. The pattern is similar but uses MySQL-specific health checks and backup tooling.

Solution

Similar to PostgreSQL but with MySQL-specific health checks and backup. Configure the MySQL daemon with --bind-address=127.0.0.1 and pass MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD, MYSQL_DATABASE as env vars. Health-check by execing mysql -e 'SELECT 1' or the MariaDB healthcheck.sh script. For backups, use sdk.Backups.withMysqlDump() with engine: 'mysql' or engine: 'mariadb'.
