We’re happy to announce that Debezium 0.3.1 is now available for use with Kafka Connect 0.10.0.1. This release contains an updated MySQL connector with a handful of bug fixes and two significant but backward-compatible changes. First, the MySQL connector now supports using secure connections to MySQL, adding to the existing ability to connect securely to Kafka. Second, the MySQL connector is able to capture MySQL string values using the proper character sets so that any values stored in the database can be captured correctly in events. See our release notes for details of these changes and for upgrading recommendations.
We’ve also updated the Debezium Docker images labelled 0.3
and latest
, which we use in our tutorial.
Thanks to Chris, Akshath, barten, and and others for their help with the release, issues, discussions, contributions, and questions!

After a few weeks delay, Debezium 0.3.0 is now available for use with Kafka Connect 0.10.0.1. This release contains an updated MySQL connector with quite a few bug fixes, and a new MongoDB connector that captures the changes made to a MongoDB replica set or MongoDB sharded cluster. See the documentation for details about how to configure these connectors and how they work.
We’ve also updated the Debezium Docker images (with labels 0.3
and latest
) used in our tutorial.

I’m happy to announce that Debezium 0.2.4 is now available for use with Kafka Connect 0.9.0.1. This release adds more verbose logging during MySQL snapshots, enables taking snapshots of very large MySQL databases, and correct a potential exception during graceful shutdown. See our release notes for details of these changes and for upgrading recommendations.

Thanks to David and wangshao for their help with the release, issues, discussions, contributions, and questions! Stay tuned for our next release, which will be 0.3 and will have a new MongoDB connector and will support Kafka Connect 0.10.0.1.

Change data capture is a hot topic. Debezium’s goal is to make change data capture easy for multiple DBMSes, but admittedly we’re still a young open source project and so far we’ve only released a connector for MySQL with a connector for MongoDB that’s just around the corner. So it’s great to see how others are using and implementing change data capture. In this post, we’ll review Yelp’s approach and see how it is strikingly similar to Debezium’s MySQL connector.

I’m happy to announce that Debezium 0.2.3 is now available for use with Kafka Connect 0.9.0.1. This release corrects the MySQL connector behavior when working with TINYINT
and SMALLINT
columns or with TIME
, DATE
, and TIMESTAMP
columns. See our release notes for details of these changes and for upgrading recommendations.
