It’s with great excitement that I’m announcing the release of Debezium 1.1.0.Final!

About three months after the 1.0 release, this new version comes with many exciting new features such as:

It’s my pleasure to announce the release of Debezium 1.1.0.Beta1!

This release adds support for transaction marker events, an incubating connector for the IBM Db2 database as well as a wide range of bug fixes. As the 1.1 release still is under active development, we’ve backported an asorted set of bug fixes to the 1.0 branch and released Debezium 1.0.1.Final, too.

At the time of writing this, not all connector archives have been synched to Maven Central yet; this should be the case within the next few others.

Today it’s my great pleasure to announce the availability of Debezium 1.0.0.Final!

Since the initial commit in November 2015, the Debezium community has worked tirelessly to realize the vision of building a comprehensive open-source low-latency platform for change data capture (CDC) for a variety of databases.

Within those four years, Debezium’s feature set has grown tremendously: stable, highly configurable CDC connectors for MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB and SQL Server, incubating connectors for Apache Cassandra and Oracle, facilities for transforming and routing change data events, support for design patterns such as the outbox pattern and much more. A very active and welcoming community of users, contributors and committers has formed around the project. Debezium is deployed to production at lots of organizations from all kinds of industries, some with huge installations, using hundreds of connectors to stream data changes out of thousands of databases.

The 1.0 release marks an important milestone for the project: based on all the production feedback we got from the users of the 0.x versions, we figured it’s about time to express the maturity of the four stable connectors in the version number, too.

While fall weather is in full swing, the Debezium community is not letting the unusually low, frigid temperatures get the best of us. It is my pleasure to announce the release of Debezium 1.0.0.Beta3!

This new Debezium release includes several notable new features, enhancements, and fixes:

  • Built against Kafka Connect 2.3.1 (DBZ-1612)

  • Renamed drop_on_stop configuration parameter to drop.on.stop (DBZ-1595)

  • Standardized source information for Cassandra connector (DBZ-1408)

  • Propagate MongoDB replicator exceptions so they are visible from Kafka Connect’s status endpoint (DBZ-1583)

  • Envelope methods should accept Instant rather than long values for timestamps (DBZ-1607)

  • Erroneously reporting no tables captured (DBZ-1519)

  • Avoid Oracle connector attempting to analyze tables (DBZ-1569)

  • Toasted columns should contain null in before rather than __debezium_unavailable_value (DBZ-1570)

  • Support PostgreSQL 11+ TRUNCATE operations using pgoutput decoder (DBZ-1576)

  • PostgreSQL connector times out in schema discovery for databases with many tables (DBZ-1579)

  • Value of ts_ms is not correct duing snapshot processing (DBZ-1588)

  • Heartbeats are not generated for non-whitelisted tables (DBZ-1592)

It is my pleasure to announce the release of Debezium 1.0.0.Beta2!

On behalf of the Debezium community it’s my great pleasure to announce the release of Debezium 0.10.0.Final!

As you’d expect it, there were not many changes since last week’s CR2, one exception being a performance fix for the pgoutput plug-in of the Postgres connector, which may have suffered from slow processing when dealing with many small transactions in a short period of time (DBZ-1515).

This release finalizes the work of overall eight preview releases. We have discussed the new features and changes in depth in earlier announcements, but here are some highlights of Debezium 0.10:

I’m very happy to announce the release of Debezium 0.10.0.CR2!

After the CR1 release we decided to do another candidate release, as there was not only a good number of bug fixes coming in, but also a few very useful feature implementations were provided by the community, which we didn’t want to delay. So we adjusted the original plan a bit and now aim for Debezium 0.10 Final in the course of next week, barring any unforeseen regressions.

As usual, let’s take a closer look at some of the new features and resolved bugs.

The Debezium community is on the homestretch towards the 0.10 release and we’re happy to announce the availability of Debezium 0.10.0.CR1!

Besides a number of bugfixes to the different connectors, this release also brings a substantial improvement to the way initial snapshots can be done with Postgres. Unless any major regressions show up, the final 0.10 release should follow very soon.

In the first half of this blog post series, we explained our decision-making process of designing a streaming data pipeline for Cassandra at WePay. In this post, we will break down the pipeline into three sections and discuss each of them in more detail:

  1. Cassandra to Kafka with CDC agent

  2. Kafka with BigQuery with KCBQ

  3. Transformation with BigQuery view

This post originally appeared on the WePay Engineering blog.

Historically, MySQL had been the de-facto database of choice for microservices at WePay. As WePay scales, the sheer volume of data written into some of our microservice databases demanded us to make a scaling decision between sharded MySQL (i.e. Vitess) and switching to a natively sharded NoSQL database. After a series of evaluations, we picked Cassandra, a NoSQL database, primarily because of its high availability, horizontal scalability, and ability to handle high write throughput.
