hopsworks-aiomysql
MySQL driver for asyncio.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, with conditions. The package is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, with permissive MIT licensing. However, the 381-day gap since the last release and aging maintenance status suggest it may not receive prompt updates for new MySQL/MariaDB features or Python versions. Install it if you need async MySQL access in an asyncio application and are comfortable with a package that updates infrequently; avoid it if you require active, rapid maintenance or cutting-edge compatibility.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a running MySQL or MariaDB server accessible at the specified host and port; Python 3.7+ is required.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (PyMySQL).
- Maintenance status is aging—last release was 381 days ago, though the repository remains active with a recent commit on 2025-07-29.

What it is and what it does
hopsworks-aiomysql is an async MySQL driver that wraps PyMySQL to provide non-blocking database access within Python's asyncio framework. It reuses most of PyMySQL's implementation but replaces blocking I/O calls with async equivalents, allowing you to query MySQL or MariaDB without blocking your event loop. The package maintains API compatibility with PyMySQL—you simply await method calls instead of calling them synchronously—and includes optional SQLAlchemy integration for ORM users.
The package is designed for applications that need to handle many concurrent database connections efficiently, such as web services or async data pipelines. It supports connection pooling, SSL connections, multiple authentication methods including sha256_password and caching_sha2_password, and both standard and server-side cursors. Python 3.7+ is required.
Use it for
- Building async web services (FastAPI, aiohttp) that query MySQL without blocking the event loop.
- Concurrent data ingestion or batch processing where multiple async tasks read from or write to MySQL simultaneously.
- SQLAlchemy-based async applications needing a MySQL backend with the aiomysql.sa integration layer.
- Connection pooling for high-concurrency scenarios where traditional synchronous drivers would exhaust system resources.
- Microservices or serverless functions that must minimize latency by avoiding blocking database calls.
