It has only been three weeks since we released Debezium 3.1.0.Final, and we’re happy to report the first maintenance release has arrived, 3.1.1.Final. This release includes several critical performance improvements and a variety of bug fixes.

We’re writing to share an important update regarding the Debezium team. As part of a broader strategic move, the Debezium team, along with Red Hat’s Middleware and Integration Engineering and Products teams, will be transitioning to IBM in July 2025.

A year ago we began this incredible journey to create a modern approach to Change Data Capture. We had the desire to create a tool where you can focus on your data, defining how it flows from sources to destinations, with a pipeline-based approach. All this paired with a new and modern user interface to simplify interaction with it.

We named it Debezium Management Platform, or if you prefer, just Debezium Platform.

We are excited that Debezium 3.1 is the first official release of this years-long effort.

The Debezium project is starting off 2025 with a tremendously fun filled release of Debezium 3.1.0.Final. This release includes a myriad of features across multiple connectors, transformation support with WebAssembly and Go, our first official release of the Debezium Management Platform, two brand-new Debezium Server sinks for vector databases and large language models, a new AI module, and that’s not the half of it!

We are excited to announce a candidate release for Debezium 3.1, 3.1.0.CR1.

This new release includes several improvements with the JDBC sink and MySQL connectors, support for ISO string temporal values and Keyspace heartbeats with Vitess, key-based routing for RabbitMQ, and more. Let’s dive in and take a look at these new features and improvements.
