It’s with great pleasure that I am announcing the release of Debezium 1.7.0.Final!

Key features of this release include substantial improvements to the notion of incremental snapshotting (as introduced in Debezium 1.6), a web-based user Debezium user interface, NATS support in Debezium Server, and support for running Apache Kafka without ZooKeeper via the Debezium Kafka container image.

Also in the wider Debezium community some exciting things happened over the last few months; For instance, we saw a CDC connector for ScyllaDB based on the Debezium connector framework, and there’s work happening towards a Debezium Server connector for Apache Iceberg (details about this coming soon in a guest post on this blog).

At ScyllaDB, we develop a high-performance NoSQL database Scylla, API-compatible with Apache Cassandra, Amazon DynamoDB and Redis. Earlier this year, we introduced support for Change Data Capture in Scylla 4.3. This new feature seemed like a perfect match for integration with the Apache Kafka ecosystem, so we developed the Scylla CDC Source Connector using the Debezium framework. In this blogpost we will cover the basic structure of Scylla’s CDC, reasons we chose the Debezium framework and design decisions we made.

Going ZooKeeper-less With the Debezium Container Image for Apache Kafka Going ZooKeeper-less With the Debezium Container Image for Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka 2.8 allows for a first glimpse into the ZooKeeper-less future of the widely used event streaming platform: shipping with a preview of KIP-500 ("Replace ZooKeeper with a Self-Managed Metadata Quorum"), you can now run Kafka clusters without the need for setting up and operating Apache ZooKeeper. This does not only simplify running Kafka from an operational perspective, the new metadata quorum implementation (named "KRaft", Kafka Raft metadata mode) also should provide much better scaling characteristics, for instance when it comes to large numbers of topics and partitions.
