Recurly Migration Guide
Upgrading to 1.0.0
We recently rolled out an update to the Recurly connector using a newer version of our CDK, as well as introducing several additions to the existing stream schemas. Our aim with these updates is always to enhance the connector's functionality and provide you with a richer set of data to support your integration needs.
While our intention was to make these updates as seamless as possible, we've observed that some users are experiencing issues during the "Discover" step of the sync process. This has led us to re-categorize the recent changes as breaking updates, despite not removing fields or altering property names within the schema.
Once you have migrated to the new version, we highly recommend all users refresh their schemas and reset their data before resuming syncs
Connector upgrade guide
Review the following information to prepare for and execute your upgrade.
Review the changelog
Before updating a connector, review the changelog to understand the changes and their potential impact on your existing connections. Find the changelog for any connector by navigating to the bottom of the documentation for that connector. Major version releases also include a migration guide.
Plan for major updates
Major updates may require you to adjust connection settings or even make changes to your data pipelines. Allocate enough time and resources for this. Use the migration guide to ensure your transition process goes smoothly.
Airbyte provides tooling that guarantees safe connector version bumps and enforces automated version bumps for minor and patch updates. You always need to manually update for major version bumps.
