In an ever-evolving technology landscape, understanding the implications of end-of-life and end-of-support dates for database technologies is crucial. When a technology reaches its end of support period, it means vendors cease updates, patches, and technical support, potentially exposing your organization to security risks, increased operational costs, and performance issues.
