message_grouping

boolean

Whether to enable message grouping for ordering purposes. When true (default), messages are grouped by primary key or custom grouping columns. When false, grouping is disabled for higher throughput batching.

integer

Number of records to batch together (1-1000)

max_retry_count

integer

The maximum number of times a message will be retried if delivery fails. Once this limit is reached, the message will be discarded. Defaults to null, meaning messages are retried indefinitely.

load_shedding_policy

string

Determines how Sequin handles overload when sink consumers can’t keep up with incoming messages. Options are:

pause_on_full (default) — pauses replication until the buffer has room again
discard_on_full — drops messages for overloaded consumers to avoid pausing replication

For more details, see load shedding policy.

timestamp_format

string

The format of the timestamp in the source data. Possible values include iso8601 and unix_microsecond.
