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.
Debezium Platform aims to simplify the deployment of Debezium to various environments in a highly opinionated manner. To achieve this goal, the platform uses a data-centric view of Debezium components.
The platform represents a natural evolution from Debezium Server. Past releases provided the Debezium operator to simplify operation in Kubernetes environments. With the introduction of the platform, we are now offering a high-level abstraction to deploy your data pipelines in different environments while leveraging Debezium Server and Debezium Operator.
We don’t want to take up any more of your time, so we’ll leave you with a short video.
The Debezium Platform is still an incubating project and under development, so feedback and contribution are always much appreciated.
We hope we’ve caught your attention and sparked your curiosity. If you want to learn more, here are the places where you can start:
About Debezium
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. Debezium is built on top of Kafka and provides Kafka Connect compatible connectors that monitor specific database management systems. Debezium records the history of data changes in Kafka logs, so your application can be stopped and restarted at any time and can easily consume all of the events it missed while it was not running, ensuring that all events are processed correctly and completely. Debezium is open source under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
