It’s my pleasure to announce the next release of the Debezium 2.3 series, 2.3.0.Beta1!

While this release focuses primarily on bug fixes and stability improvements, there are some new improvements with the PostgreSQL connector and the new notification and channels subsystem. In addition, there are also some compatibility breaking changes.

This release contains changes for 22 issues, so lets take a moment and dive into the new features and any potential bug fixes or breaking changes that are noteworthy!

With the recent success of ChatGPT, we can observe another wave of interest in the AI field and machine learning in general. The previous wave of interest in this field was, at least to a certain extent, caused by the fact that excellent ML frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch or general data processing frameworks like Spark became available and made the writing of ML models much more straightforward. Since that time, these frameworks have matured, and writing models are even more accessible, as you will see later in this blog. However, data set preparation and gathering data from various sources can sometimes take time and effort. Creating a complete pipeline that would pull existing or newly created data, adjust it, and ingest it into selected ML libraries can be challenging. Let’s investigate if Debezium can help with this task and explore how we can leverage Debezium’s capabilities to make it easier.

As you may have noticed, the Docker company recently announced a reduction of the free organization accounts offering. The Docker company wanted to provide for free organization accounts only for Docker-Sponsored Open Source (DSOS) projects. Debezium project doesn’t meet their definition of open source project as we have a pathway to commercialization. As the accounts ought to be terminated in 30 days, we immediately started to work on moving out the Debezium project from Docker Hub.

Today, it’s with great joy that we can announce the availability of Debezium 2.2.0.Final!

Many of you may have noticed, this release cadence took a bit longer than our traditional three-months. While we normally prefer to keep to our usual cadence, this shift gives us a unique opportunity to ship Debezium 2.2 with tons of new features and bug fixes, but also major upgrades to several core components.
