Compatibility Notes

Debezium + Kafka

Debezium 2.7.0.Final is tested with Kafka 3.8.0 (CP 7.7.0). For other combinations, consult the Debezium version compatibility matrix .

Kafka Connect

Kafka Connect is bundled with Apache Kafka. The version numbers align, so Kafka 3.8.0 (CP 7.7.0) includes Kafka Connect 3.8.0.

PostgreSQL (Source Database)

Hands-on labs use PostgreSQL 15 via the Debezium-tuned container image. Logical replication is enabled out of the box so you can register the connector without extra Postgres configuration.

Cloud Platforms

AWS DMS, Fivetran, and SaaS CDC platforms use their own versioning schemes and handle updates automatically. Our cloud labs reflect current production behavior as of 2025-02-14.

Update Frequency

This version matrix is reviewed and updated quarterly by our automated site-content-review agent. If you notice a version is outdated, please report an issue.

Next scheduled review: Check back after the start of each quarter (January, April, July, October).
