View our Docker quick start here.

Kpow v88.6 brings Protobuf support for AWS Glue, easy configuration of JSON application logs, improved orphan schema detection, a JDK17 docker image, and improves integration with both Confluent Cloud and Confluent Schema Registry.

JDK17 Docker Image

Recently we discovered an issue with Amazon Corretto 11 that impacts memory management in a containerised environment. Although this issue will be resolved shortly, we have also expedited our plans to move to JDK17.

We provide a Corretto 17 container image of Kpow tagged with jdk17 in Dockerhub. In a later release we will adopt Corretto 17 as our standard base image.

AWS Glue Protobuf Support

Kpow now supports Protobuf schema in AWS Glue.

JSON Application Logs

Switch to JSON application logs by setting the environment variable:

LOG_FORMAT=json

Orphan Schema Detection

Kpow has an improved UX for orphan schema detection and deletion.
