Can you please confirm how we can pass the ssl mode required variable under the Flask application.
I am using the Managed MYSQL database instance it’s connected successfully with my local database, but when I am using the same thing with Digital Ocean managed database level then it’s giving me an error related to SSl mode required options.
Please help me to resolve this issue.

Hey @rahularoraengg,

your config should contain a connection string for the database such as;

SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'mysql://user:pass@hostname/database?ssl_mode=REQUIRED'

It may be necessary to also use the other SSL option(s) but add them to the URI config line.
