Fully Managed Connector Updates for Easier Migrations

This post details platform-level improvements for fully managed connectors, including exposing connector logs to non-admin roles (ResourceOwner, ConnectManager), introducing plugin versioning for custom connectors via CCPM APIs for seamless upgrades and offset preservation, and expanding Single Message Transform (SMT) support with new out-of-the-box SMTs (e.g., DropHeaders, InsertHeader, HeaderFrom, HeaderToValue, Flatten, Filter) and the ability to upload custom SMTs. It also introduces custom topic naming for DLQ, success, and error topics. Additionally, it lists specific enhancements across various connector types, such as PostgreSQL dialect support for Google Cloud Spanner sink, field truncation management for MongoDB Atlas connectors, automated publication for PostgreSQL CDC Source V2, proxy-based connectivity for Snowflake sink, and large object support for Oracle XStream CDC Source.
