Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) now provides CDC iterator position

Amazon Keyspaces CDC Iterator Position

Amazon Keyspaces now returns an iterator position in the GetRecords response for CDC streams, indicating whether a consumer has reached the tip of the stream or if additional records may be available. This feature helps optimize resource usage and reduce costs by allowing customers to adapt their polling frequency based on the iterator's position.

• New Feature: Iterator position in GetRecords response for CDC streams.
• Benefits: Lowers CDC consumption costs and optimizes data integration pipelines.
• Availability: Available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Keyspaces CDC is supported.
• Action Required: Update to the latest AWS SDK to use this feature.

What to do

• Update to the latest AWS SDK.
• Review the Amazon Keyspaces product page and Working with change data capture (CDC) streams in the Developer Guide.
