summary
Step-by-step runbook for an in-place move to MySQL 8.4: run the MySQL Shell upgrade checker, migrate deprecated plugins to components, convert any MySQL native auth users and UTF8MB3 schemas, test an upgraded replica first, capture and sample real queries and replay them with pt-upgrade and PT-query-digest, validate replication with PT-table-checksum, take a verified backup and watch error logs and PMM metrics; Percona reports upgrading hundreds of servers across versions with zero rollbacks.
