“Debezium requires Kafka” is one of the biggest outdated assumptions in CDC.

In 2026, Debezium supports a wide ecosystem of deployment models and integrations across Kafka Connect, standalone servers, application frameworks, and Python environments.

Here’s the reality 👇

We used to optimize cloud costs.

Now we optimize context windows.

Technology changes. The constraint doesn’t.

@mariofusco We used AI to migrate the Debezium codebase from JUnit4 to JUnit5. Due to our capacity this was an accumulated tech debt and just required 1 day to migrate. https://t.co/MEoDY5Ww57

[Mario Fiore Vitale @mvitale86]

We would like to hear from you!

[Debezium Project @debezium]

🚀 Debezium User Survey is live!

If you’re using CDC in prod (or tried and learned the hard way), we’d love your input. Your feedback will focus and shape Debezium's future.

🚨Debezium is moving issue tracking from Jira to GitHub issues as part of its transition to @commonhaus_fdn on Dec 11th.

This change brings issue tracking closer to where development happens, and we're excited for this new chapter with the community! 🚀

A year ago, I built commit-art — a small side project that turns your GitHub contribution graph into a piece of art 🎨

Just added a new feature: you can now highlight special days ✨

Here’s mine — it marks my first year with the #Debezium team ❤️
