+[![Maven Central](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/io.airlift/testing-mysql-server.svg?label=Maven%20Central)](https://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cg%3A%22io.airlift%22%20AND%20a%3A%22testing-mysql-server%22)
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/airlift/testing-mysql-server.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/airlift/testing-mysql-server)
+
+Embedded MySQL server for use in tests. It allows testing your Java or
+other JVM based application against a real MySQL server with no external
+dependencies to deploy or manage.
+
+## Usage
+
+Add the library as a test dependency:
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>io.airlift</groupId>
+    <artifactId>testing-mysql-server</artifactId>
+    <version>5.7.19-1</version>
+    <scope>test</scope>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+Use it in your tests:
+
+```java
+@Test
+public void testDatabase()
+        throws Exception
+{
+    try (TestingMySqlServer server = new TestingMySqlServer("testuser", "testpass", "testdb");
+            Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(server.getJdbcUrl("testdb"));
+            Statement statement = connection.createStatement()) {
+        statement.execute("CREATE TABLE test_table (id bigint PRIMARY KEY)");
+        statement.execute("INSERT INTO test_table (id) VALUES (123)");
+    }
+}
+
+```
+
+The server takes a few seconds to startup, so you will likely want to leave
+it running between tests. Make sure the server is always shutdown (by calling
+the `close()` method or using try-with-resources), otherwise the `mysqld`
+process will stay running after the JVM exits.
