YugabyteDB 2.20 Unveiled: Elevating Change Data Capture for Cloud Native Applications

YugabyteDB 2.20 introduces key enhancements, including transactionally consistent change data capture (CDC), improved performance at scale with catalog metadata caching and faster local bootstrap in self-managed YugabyteDB, simplified lift-and-shift for PostgreSQL users with wait-on-conflict concurrency control, OIDC-based authentication for enhanced security, online point-in-time recovery (PITR) capabilities, and several behind-the-scenes improvements. This release broadens YugabyteDB's applicability to a wider range of cloud native applications, including real-time data analysis, business-critical event-driven applications, data auditing and compliance, master data management, and real-time customer experience management.
