+## Prerequisites
+
+{{% create-source/intro %}}
+Materialize supports MySQL (5.7+) as a real-time data source. To connect to a
+MySQL database, you first need to tweak its configuration to enable
+[GTID-based binary log (binlog) replication](#change-data-capture) and set
+[`binlog_row_metadata=FULL`](#change-data-capture), and then
+[create a connection](#prerequisite-creating-a-connection-to-mysql) in
+Materialize that specifies access and authentication parameters.
+{{% /create-source/intro %}}
+
+## Syntax
+
+{{% include-syntax file="examples/create_source_mysql" example="syntax" %}}
+
+## Ingesting data
+
+After a source is created, you can create tables from the source referencing
+upstream MySQL tables that have GTID-based binlog replication enabled. You can
+create multiple tables that reference the same upstream table.
+
+See [`CREATE TABLE FROM SOURCE`](/sql/create-table/) for details.
+
+#### Handling table schema changes
+
+The use of `CREATE SOURCE` with the new [`CREATE TABLE FROM
+SOURCE`](/sql/create-table/) allows for the handling of certain upstream DDL
+changes without downtime.
+
+See [`CREATE TABLE FROM SOURCE`](/sql/create-table/#handling-table-schema-changes) for details.
+
+#### Supported types
+
+With the new syntax, after a MySQL source is created, you [`CREATE TABLE FROM
+SOURCE`](/sql/create-table/) to create a corresponding table in Materialize and
+start ingesting data.
+
+{{% include-from-yaml data="mysql_source_details"
+name="mysql-supported-types" %}}
+
+{{% include-from-yaml data="mysql_source_details"
+name="mysql-unsupported-types" %}}
+
+For more information, including strategies for handling unsupported types,
+see [`CREATE TABLE FROM SOURCE`](/sql/create-table/).
+
+#### Upstream table truncation restrictions
+
+{{% include-from-yaml data="mysql_source_details"
+name="mysql-truncation-restriction" %}}
+
+For additional considerations, see also [`CREATE TABLE`](/sql/create-table/).
+
+### Change data capture
+
+{{< note >}}
+
+For step-by-step instructions on enabling GTID-based binlog replication for your
+MySQL service, see the integration guides:
+[Amazon RDS](/ingest-data/mysql/amazon-rds/),
+[Amazon Aurora](/ingest-data/mysql/amazon-aurora/),
+[Azure DB](/ingest-data/mysql/azure-db/),
+[Google Cloud SQL](/ingest-data/mysql/google-cloud-sql/),
+[Self-hosted](/ingest-data/mysql/self-hosted/).
+
+{{< /note >}}
+
+The source uses MySQL's binlog replication protocol to **continually ingest
+changes** resulting from `INSERT`, `UPDATE` and `DELETE` operations in the
+upstream database. This process is known as _change data capture_.
+
+The replication method used is based on [global transaction identifiers
+(GTIDs)](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-gtids.html), and
+guarantees **transactional consistency** — any operation inside a MySQL
+transaction is assigned the same timestamp in Materialize, which means that the
+source will never show partial results based on partially replicated
+transactions.
+
+Before creating a source in Materialize, you **must** configure the upstream
+MySQL database for GTID-based binlog replication:
+
+{{% mysql-direct/ingesting-data/mysql-configs %}}
+
+In addition, the new `CREATE TABLE FROM SOURCE` syntax requires full row
+metadata in the binlog. You must set the following system variable on the
+upstream MySQL server:
+
+```sql
+SET GLOBAL binlog_row_metadata = FULL;
+```
+
+If you're running MySQL using a managed service, additional configuration
+changes might be required. For step-by-step instructions on enabling GTID-based
+binlog replication for your MySQL service, see the integration guides.
+
+#### Binlog retention
+
+{{< warning >}}
+
+If Materialize tries to resume replication and finds GTID gaps due to missing
+binlog files, the source enters an errored state and you have to drop and
+recreate it.
+
+{{< /warning >}}
+
+By default, MySQL retains binlog files for **30 days** (i.e., 2592000 seconds)
+before automatically removing them. This is configurable via the
+[`binlog_expire_logs_seconds`](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-replication-excerpt/8.0/en/replication-options-binary-log.html#sysvar_binlog_expire_logs_seconds)
+system variable. We recommend using the default value for this configuration in
+order to not compromise Materialize's ability to resume replication in case of
+failures or restarts.
+
+In some MySQL managed services, binlog expiration can be overridden by a
+service-specific configuration parameter. It's important that you double-check
+if such a configuration exists, and ensure it's set to the maximum interval
+available.
+
+As an example, [Amazon RDS for MySQL](/ingest-data/mysql/amazon-rds/) has its
+own configuration parameter for binlog retention ([`binlog retention hours`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/mysql-stored-proc-configuring.html#mysql_rds_set_configuration-usage-notes.binlog-retention-hours))
+that overrides `binlog_expire_logs_seconds` and is set to `NULL` by default.
+
+### Monitoring source progress
+
+[//]: # "TODO(morsapaes) Replace this section with guidance using the new
+progress metrics in mz_source_statistics + console monitoring, when available
+(also for PostgreSQL)."
+
+By default, MySQL sources expose progress metadata as a subsource that you can
+use to monitor source **ingestion progress**. The name of the progress subsource
+can be specified when creating a source using the `EXPOSE PROGRESS AS` clause;
+otherwise, it will be named `<src_name>_progress`.
+
+The following metadata is available for each source as a progress subsource:
+
+Field              | Type                                                    | Details
+-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|--------------
+`source_id_lower`  | [`uuid`](/sql/types/uuid/)                              | The lower-bound GTID `source_id` of the GTIDs covered by this range.
+`source_id_upper`  | [`uuid`](/sql/types/uuid/)                              | The upper-bound GTID `source_id` of the GTIDs covered by this range.
+`transaction_id`   | [`uint8`](/sql/types/uint/#uint8-info)                  | The `transaction_id` of the next GTID possible from the GTID `source_id`s covered by this range.
+
+And can be queried using:
+
+```mzsql
+SELECT transaction_id
+FROM <src_name>_progress;
+```
+
+Progress metadata is represented as a [GTID set](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-gtids-concepts.html)
+of future possible GTIDs, which is similar to the
+[`gtid_executed`](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-options-gtids.html#sysvar_gtid_executed)
+system variable on a MySQL replica. The reported `transaction_id` should
+increase as Materialize consumes **new** binlog records from the upstream MySQL
+database. For more details on monitoring source ingestion progress and debugging
+related issues, see [Troubleshooting](/ops/troubleshooting/).
+
+## Known limitations
+
+{{% include-headless "/headless/mysql-considerations" %}}
+
+## Example
+
+{{< important >}}
+
+Before creating a MySQL source, you must enable GTID-based binlog replication in
+the upstream database. For step-by-step instructions, see the integration guide
+for your MySQL service: [Amazon RDS](/ingest-data/mysql/amazon-rds/),
+[Amazon Aurora](/ingest-data/mysql/amazon-aurora/),
+[Azure DB](/ingest-data/mysql/azure-db/),
+[Google Cloud SQL](/ingest-data/mysql/google-cloud-sql/),
+[Self-hosted](/ingest-data/mysql/self-hosted/).
+
+{{< /important >}}
+
+### Creating a source {#create-source-example}
+
+#### Prerequisite: Creating a connection to MySQL
+
+First, you must create a connection to your MySQL database. A connection
+describes how to connect and authenticate to an external system you want
+Materialize to read data from.
+
+Once created, a connection is **reusable** across multiple `CREATE SOURCE`
+statements. For more details on creating connections, check the
+[`CREATE CONNECTION`](/sql/create-connection/#mysql) documentation page.
+
+```mzsql
+CREATE SECRET mysqlpass AS '<MYSQL_PASSWORD>';
+
+CREATE CONNECTION mysql_connection TO MYSQL (
+    HOST 'instance.foo000.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com',
+    PORT 3306,
+    USER 'materialize',
+    PASSWORD SECRET mysqlpass
+);
+```
+
+If your MySQL server is not exposed to the public internet, you can [tunnel the
+connection](/sql/create-connection/#network-security-connections) through an
+AWS PrivateLink service (Materialize Cloud) or an SSH bastion host.
+
+{{< tabs tabID="1" >}}
+{{< tab "AWS PrivateLink (Materialize Cloud)">}}
+
+{{< include-md file="shared-content/aws-privatelink-cloud-only-note.md" >}}
+
+```mzsql
+CREATE CONNECTION privatelink_svc TO AWS PRIVATELINK (
+   SERVICE NAME 'com.amazonaws.vpce.us-east-1.vpce-svc-0e123abc123198abc',
+   AVAILABILITY ZONES ('use1-az1', 'use1-az4')
+);
+
+CREATE CONNECTION mysql_connection TO MYSQL (
+    HOST 'instance.foo000.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com',
+    PORT 3306,
+    USER 'root',
+    PASSWORD SECRET mysqlpass,
+    AWS PRIVATELINK privatelink_svc
+);
+```
+
+For step-by-step instructions on creating AWS PrivateLink connections and
+configuring an AWS PrivateLink service to accept connections from Materialize,
+check [this guide](/ops/network-security/privatelink/).
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{< tab "SSH tunnel">}}
+
+```mzsql
+CREATE CONNECTION ssh_connection TO SSH TUNNEL (
+    HOST 'bastion-host',
+    PORT 22,
+    USER 'materialize'
+);
+```
+
+```mzsql

+    HOST 'instance.foo000.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com',
+    SSH TUNNEL ssh_connection
+);

+an SSH bastion server to accept connections from Materialize, check
+[this guide](/ops/network-security/ssh-tunnel/).
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{< /tabs >}}
+
+#### Creating the source in Materialize
+
+You **must** enable GTID-based binlog replication before creating the source.
+See [Change data capture](#change-data-capture) for configuration details.
+
+Once replication is configured, create a `SOURCE` in Materialize:
+
+```mzsql
+CREATE SOURCE mz_source
+    FROM MYSQL CONNECTION mysql_connection;
+```
+
+After a source is created, you can create a table from the source, referencing
+specific upstream table(s).
+
+_Creates a table in Materialize from the upstream table `mydb.orders`_
+
+```mzsql
+CREATE TABLE orders FROM SOURCE mz_source (REFERENCE mydb.orders);
+```
