Outlook, What’s next?

Debezium 1.9 will continue to receive bug fix and maintenance changes throughout the early part of the next quarter. I expect there to be at least a 1.9.7.Final in the middle to late October timeframe, potentially wrapping up the 1.9 release stream.

Debezium 2.0 is wrapping up with the latest 2.0.0.Beta2 build released just last week. We are currently focusing on bug fixes, stability, and polishing the Debezium 2.0 release stream. We expect to have 2.0.0.CR1 released in about another week or so with 2.0.0.Final scheduled for mid-October.

Until next time, keep an eye out as we’ll soon be discussing what’s to come in Debezium 2.1 later this year!

Debezium is an open source distributed platform that turns your existing databases into event streams, so applications can see and respond almost instantly to each committed row-level change in the databases.
