They're the ones running a 10 years old database on a 11 years old os in a public facing server "because it just works", not me
If it was a container, they could just tag a new version when the database went EOL 5 years ago, without being locked on what the package manager was offering
Because they used MySQL 5 on CentOS 7 from the package manager and couldn't easily upgrade

With this small of a deployment you’re just moving your issue to the containerisation layer. Unless you use some saas kubernetes or other managed solution.
