The server is started using run.sh script, dependencies are stored in the lib directory, and the directory conf contains configuration files.
Configuration
Debezium Server uses MicroProfile Configuration for configuration. This means that the application can be configured from disparate sources like configuration files, environment variables, system properties etc.
The main configuration file is conf/application.properties. There are multiple sections configured:
debezium.sourceis for source connector configuration; each instance of Debezium Server runs exactly one connectordebezium.sinkis for the sink system configurationdebezium.formatis for the output serialization format configurationdebezium.transformsis for the configuration of message transformations
An example configuration file can look like so:
1. debezium.sink.type=kinesis
2. debezium.sink.kinesis.region=eu-central-1
3. debezium.source.connector.class=io.debezium.connector.postgresql.PostgresConnector
4. debezium.source.offset.storage.file.filename=data/offsets.dat
5. debezium.source.offset.flush.interval.ms=0
6. debezium.source.database.hostname=localhost
7. debezium.source.database.port=5432
8. debezium.source.database.user=postgres
9. debezium.source.database.password=postgres
10. debezium.source.database.dbname=postgres
11. debezium.source.database.server.name=tutorial
12. debezium.source.schema.include.list=inventory
When the server is started it generates a seqeunce of log messages like this:
1. __ ____ __ _____ ___ __ ____ ______

Source configuration
The source configuration uses the same configuration properties that are described on the specific connector documentation pages (just with debezium.source prefix), together with few more specific ones, necessary for running outside of Kafka Connect:
| Property | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| debezium.source.connector.class | The name of the Java class implementing the source connector. | |
| debezium.source.offset.storage | org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.FileOffsetBackingStore |
Class to use for storing and retrieving offsets for non-Kafka deployments. To use Redis to store offsets, use io.debezium.server.redis.RedisOffsetBackingStore |
| debezium.source.offset.storage.file.filename | If using a file offset store (default), the file in which connector offsets are stored for non-Kafka deployments. | |
| debezium.source.offset.flush.interval.ms | Defines how frequently the offsets are flushed into the file. | |
| debezium.source.offset.storage.redis.address | (Optional) If using Redis to store offsets, an address, formatted as host:port, at which the Redis target streams are provided. If not supplied, will attempt to read debezium.sink.redis.address |
|
| debezium.source.offset.storage.redis.user | (Optional) If using Redis to store offsets, a user name used to communicate with Redis. If the redis.address configuration is not supplied, and the redis.address is taken from the Redis sink, will attempt to load the value from debezium.sink.redis.user |
|
| debezium.source.offset.storage.redis.password | (Optional) If using Redis to store offsets, a password (of respective user) used to communicate with Redis. A password must be set if a user is set. If the redis.address configuration is not supplied, and the redis.address is taken from the Redis sink, will attempt to load the value from debezium.sink.redis.password |
|
| debezium.source.offset.storage.redis.ssl.enabled | (Optional) If using Redis to store offsets, whether or not to use SSL to communicate with Redis. If the redis.address configuration is not supplied, and the redis.address is taken from the Redis sink, will attempt to load the value from debezium.sink.redis.ssl.enabled. Default is ‘false’ |
|
| debezium.source.database.history | io.debezium.relational.history.KafkaDatabaseHistory |
Some of the connectors (e.g MySQL, SQL Server, Db2, Oracle) track the database schema evolution over time and stores this data in a database schema history. This is by default based on Kafka. There are also other options available - io.debezium.relational.history.FileDatabaseHistory for non-Kafka deployments - io.debezium.relational.history.MemoryDatabaseHistory volatile store for test environments - io.debezium.server.redis.RedisDatabaseHistory volatile store for test environments |
| debezium.source.database.history.file.filename | The name and location of the file to which FileDatabaseHistory persists its data. |

|
| debezium.source.database.history.redis.ssl.enabled | Use SSL connection if using RedisDatabaseHistory. |
|
| debezium.source.database.history.redis.key | The Redis key to use for storage if using RedisDatabaseHistory. Default: metadata:debezium:db_history |
|
| debezium.source.database.history.redis.retry.initial.delay.ms | The initial delay in case of a connection retry to Redis if using RedisDatabaseHistory. Default: 300 (ms) |
|
| debezium.source.database.history.redis.retry.max.delay.ms | The maximum delay in case of a connection retry to Redis if using RedisDatabaseHistory. Default: 10000 (ms) |
Format configuration
The message output format can be configured for both key and value separately. By default the output is in JSON format but an arbitrary implementation of Kafka Connect’s Converter can be used.

The name of the output format for value, one of json/avro/protobuf. |
| debezium.format.value. | Configuration properties passed to the value converter. |
Transformation configuration
Before the messages are delivered to the sink, they can run through a sequence of transformations. The server supports single message transformations defined by Kafka Connect. The configuration will need to contain the list of transformations, implementation class for each transformation and configuration options for each of the transformations.
| Property | Default | Description [id=”debezium-transforms”] |
|---|---|---|
debezium.transforms |
The comma separated list of symbolic names of transformations. | |

Additional configuration
Debezium Server runs on top Quarkus framework. All configuration options exposed by Quarkus are available in Debezium Server too. The most frequent used are:
| Property | Default | Description [id=”debezium-quarkus-http-port”] |
|---|---|---|
quarkus.http.port |
8080 | The port on which Debezim exposes Microprofile Health endpoint and other exposed status information. |
quarkus.log.level |
INFO | The default log level for every log category. |
quarkus.log.console.json |
true | Determine whether to enable the JSON console formatting extension, which disables “normal” console formatting. |
JSON logging can be disabled by setting quarkus.log.console.json=false in the conf/application.properties file, as demonstrated in the conf/application.properties.example file.
Sink configuration
Sink configuration is specific for each sink type.
The sink is selected by configuration property debezium.sink.type.

| debezium.sink.type | Must be set to pravega. |
|
| debezium.sink.pravega.controller.uri | tcp://localhost:9090 |
The connection string to a Controller in the Pravega cluster. |
| debezium.sink.pravega.scope | The name of the scope in which to find the destination streams. | |
| debezium.sink.pravega.transaction | false |
Set to true to have the sink use Pravega transactions for each Debezium batch. |
Injection points
Pravega sink behavior can be modified by custom logic providing alternative implementations for specific functionalities. When the alternative implementations are not available then the default ones are used.
| Interface | CDI classifier | Description |
|---|---|---|
| io.debezium.server.StreamNameMapper | Custom implementation maps the planned destination (stream) name into a physical Pravega stream name. By default the same name is used. |
Extensions
Debezium Server uses the Quarkus framework and relies on dependency injection to enable developer to extend its behaviour. Note that only the JVM mode of Quarkus is supported, but not native execution via GraalVM. The server can be extended in two ways by providing a custom logic:
- implementation of a new sink
- customization of an existing sink - i.e. non-standard configuration
Implementation of a new sink
The new sink can be implemented as a CDI bean implementing interface DebeziumEngine.ChangeConsumer and with annotation @Named and unique name and scope @Dependent. The name of the bean is used as the debezium.sink.type option.
The sink needs to read the configuration using Microprofile Config API. The execution path must pass the messages into the target system and regularly commit the passed/processed messages.
See the Kinesis sink implementation for further details.
Customization of an existing sink
Some of the sinks exposes dependency injections points that enable users to provide its own bean that would modify the behaviour of the sink. Typical examples are fine tuning of the target client setup, the destination naming etc.
See an example of a custom topic naming policy implementation for further details.
