Gluesync 2.0.8: new features and enhancements from the latest update

The latest update Gluesync 2.0.8 continues to push the boundaries of real-time data integration. This new release brings enhanced performances & bandwidth savings, selective per-entity deletions skipping and refined user experience, making Gluesync even more powerful and efficient.

If data accuracy, observability and control are critical to your operations, you’ll appreciate the new functionalities we’ve implemented. Gluesync 2.0.8 introduces before & after images support for all compatible RDBMS and NoSQL agents, the ability to selectively skip deletions and a refined Control Plane UI for an even better user experience.

Enhanced data accuracy with before & after images

With Gluesync 2.0.8, we’re improving data synchronization precision with the introduction of before & after images support. This feature captures the state of records before and after changes, allowing for better data validation and accuracy across integrated systems.

How it works:

• For RDBMS agents
  • field-level comparison ensures only changed columns are transmitted to the target;
  • updates on non-monitored columns are skipped automatically;
  • rows where all values remain unchanged are excluded from replication, saving bandwidth and processing power.

• For NoSQL Agents
  • efficient row-level comparison for optimized synchronization;
  • automatic skipping of unchanged records to reduce processing overhead;
  • ongoing enhancements planned for future releases.

By optimizing bandwidth usage and processing efficiency, this feature helps businesses reduce storage costs, improve data transmission and enhance synchronization speed.

Skip deletions: more control over your data

One of the most requested features is now here! Gluesync 2.0.8 introduces the ability to skip deletions, allowing users to prevent source-side deletions from propagating to target databases. This is crucial for businesses that need to retain historical data, comply with audit requirements or preserve critical records.

Key use cases:

• history tables: ensure audit logs remain intact even if records are deleted from the source.
• hot storage migration: keep data in target databases even when TTL-based deletions occur in the source.
• compliance and data retention: prevent accidental data loss while maintaining normal synchronization for updates and inserts.

By enabling granular control over deletion propagation, this feature ensures zero data loss where it matters most.

A more intuitive Control Plane UI

User experience remains a top priority in Gluesync’s evolution. With version 2.0.8, we’ve refined the Control Plane UI to enhance usability and visibility, making data integration management even more seamless.

What’s new in the UI?

• A redesigned Agent Details UI, now displaying history logs, error tracking and database version information.
• Support for agent nicknaming, so you can label and identify agents effortlessly.
• Quick-overview access: click on an agent icon anywhere in the UI to instantly view its status and details.
• A refined notifications hub, making it easier to track alerts and monitor system events.

These improvements provide clearer insights, faster troubleshooting and a more streamlined experience for managing data synchronization.

Performance boosts and core improvements

Gluesync 2.0.8 brings major performance enhancements, particularly for IBM i Series (AS400) databases, where journal reading speeds have improved up to 40x in high-traffic environments.

We’ve also fixed mismatching pipeline/entity status reporting, ensuring real-time accuracy in the Control Plane UI and improved the Agents-CoreHub handshake process, enhancing system stability and communication between components.

Upgrade to Gluesync 2.0.8!

With Gluesync 2.0.8, we’re taking another step toward making real-time data synchronization smarter, more efficient and more reliable. The introduction of Before & After Images ensures that only meaningful changes are replicated, reducing unnecessary data transfers and improving performance. Meanwhile, the Skip Deletions feature gives you greater control over how your data is managed, allowing you to preserve critical records and meet compliance requirements without compromising synchronization.

Whether you’re looking to fine-tune your data pipeline, optimize performance or ensure data integrity, this update gives you the tools to do so with greater precision and flexibility than ever before.

Now is the perfect time to upgrade to Gluesync 2.0.8 and experience the next level of real-time data integration.
