Need of client's update when updating broker (patch version)?

Camunda 8 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hello,

I am planning to update Zeebe broker from 1.1.1 to 1.1.10.
Do I need to update my zeebe-client-java to the relevant version as well (from 1.1.1 to 1.1.10)?

I haven’t been able to find any information about this.
I’ve found that patch versions are compatible respecting Public API (of a client), see Public API | Camunda Cloud Docs
That does not automatically mean that version of my broker and used client might be different.

Many thanks.

Kind regards,
Miro

Hey Miro!
Welcome to the Camunda Cloud Community :slight_smile:

As far as I know there is no obligation to update the dependency of your client if there is a minor version update of your zeebe-broker.
Nevertheless, it definitively won’t hurt updating the client dependencies as well.

Best,
Thomas

Hello Thomas!

Thank you for such a quick response.
My main motivation for the update is the log4j issue so I want to do a minimalistic job for now.
I wasn’t sure about restrictions about differences in patch version (x.y.z, where z is a patch version number) between the broker and the client.
Next time I’ll update everything to the same and the newest version.

Have a nice day,
Miro
