Faster, Smarter CDC Components—MySQL CDC Connector Now Generally Available

We’re excited to announce significant enhancements to all our CDC components, bringing greater stability, control, and fault tolerance to your data pipelines. With these updates, the MySQL CDC connector is now moving from Public Beta to GA. 🎉

New Features

• Resumable Snapshots
  • Enhances resiliency with partially resumable snapshots, allowing the connector to recover from failures during the snapshot process.
  • If a failure occurs, progress is saved, and the process resumes from the last known position.
  • The smallest resumable unit is a table. In Append Mode, duplicates may occur, requiring downstream handling.
• Column Masks
  • Length Mask: Replaces string values with * characters, masking the data length.
  • Hash Mask: Hashes string data using algorithms such as SHA-256, ensuring data privacy while preserving referential integrity.
  • Learn more in the Column Masks Documentation.
• Column Filters
  • Easily include or exclude specific columns in the CDC process using regex-based filtering.
• Debezium Upgrade
  • We have upgraded to the newest version of Debezium.

For details on configuring and using these features, please refer to our documentation.

We look forward to your feedback as you explore these enhancements!
