    Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect

    Debezium connector upgraded to version 3.1.0

    Debezium version 3.1.0 is now supported in Aiven for Apache Kafka Connect through multi-version support. New Debezium connectors use version 3.1.0 by default. Existing connectors remain on their configured version unless changed.

    What’s new:

    • Debezium 3.1.0 is now the default version for new connectors.
    • Older versions, including 1.9.7, remain available through version pinning.
    • Connectors are not upgraded automatically. To upgrade, set the version using the plugin_versions configuration.
    • Debezium versions 2.0 and later do not support the wal2json replication format. If you use wal2json with PostgreSQL, stay on version 1.9.7 or migrate to a supported format such as pgoutput.

    To upgrade:
    Set the desired version using the plugin_versions property. Test any changes in a staging environment before applying them in production.

    Improved

    Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect

    New transformation available in Aiven Transformations

    A new transformation, `KeyToValue`, is now available in Aiven Transformations for Apache Kafka® Connect. This transformation copies fields from the record key into the value without overwriting the original value. It supports both schema-based (for example, Avro) and schema-less (for example, JSON) data, and allows selective field copying and renaming.

    Key features:

    • Use `key.fields` to specify fields to extract from the key.
    • Use `value.fields` to rename or map key fields into the value.
    • Supports copying the entire key using *.

    For more information, see the GitHub README.

    New

    Aiven Console

    New billing addresses feature

    As part of the billing improvements on the Aiven Platform, billing addresses are now managed separately from billing groups. After adding an address, you can use it as the billing address and shipping address for any of your billing groups. This makes it easier and faster to set up new billing groups and edit the billing information for existing billing groups.
