 * This plugin looks perfect for my requirements, namely read replicas on RDS. My
   only question is, is it actively updated?
 * Guessing that as Automatic runs the repo it should be but we are looking to move
   to PHP 8 by end of year so what to check progress on that.
 * Also, once configured will HyperDB route any WP-based requests i.e. from plugins
   as well like custom search, WooCommerce, WPAI etc or is it just default WP read
   queries?

 * Hey [@torlockc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/torlockc/)
    I have been checking
   this plugin recently and found the official GitHub repository here, in case you
   find it useful:
 * [https://github.com/Automattic/HyperDB](https://github.com/Automattic/HyperDB)
 * There is indeed a pull request approved and pending to merge that fixes some 
   warnings that comes up with PHP 8.0 version:
 * [https://github.com/Automattic/HyperDB/pull/56](https://github.com/Automattic/HyperDB/pull/56)
 * It seems to be actively maintained, with changes made in the last few months.
