Today it’s my great pleasure to announce the availability of Debezium 2.1.0.Final!

You might recently noticed that Debezium went a bit silent for the last few weeks. No, we are not going away. In fact the elves in Google worked furiously to bring you a present under a Christmas tree - Debezium Spanner connector.

As you are probably well aware, Gunnar Morling has stepped down from his position as Debezium project lead and is now pursuing new exciting adventures. It is sad, but every cloud has a silver lining!

What can it be? We (the Debezium team and Red Hat) are hiring! Are you a community contributor? Do you have any pull requests under your belt? Are you a happy Debezium user and eager to do more, or are you a seasoned Java developer looking for work in an exciting and inclusive open-source environment?

It’s my pleasure to announce the first release of the Debezium 2.1 series, 2.1.0.Alpha1!

The Debezium 2.1.0.Alpha1 release includes quite a number of bug fixes but also some noteworthy improvements and new features including but not limited to:

  • Support for PostgreSQL 15

  • Single Message Transformation (SMT) predicate support in Debezium engine

  • Capturing TRUNCATE as change event in MySQL table topics

  • Oracle LogMiner performance improvements

  • New Redis-based storage module

Some time in early 2017, I got a meeting invite from Debezium’s founder, Randall Hauch. He was about to begin a new chapter in his professional career and was looking for someone to take over as the project lead for Debezium. So we hopped on a call to talk things through, and I was immediately sold on the concept of change data capture, its large number of potential use cases and applications, and the idea of making this available to the community as open-source. After some short consideration I decided to take up this opportunity, and without a doubt this has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my job.

I’m excited to announce the release of Debezium 1.9.7.Final!

This release focuses on bug fixes and stability; and is the recommended update for all users from earlier versions. This release contains 22 resolved issues overall.
