Hey, is basic normalization after a sync just not supported anymore? My MySQL to Postgres connection only retrieves the raw data as json blob.

Yes, you are correct. Basic normalization and custom dbt are deprecated features in Airbyte and will be removed soon from the project [[source]](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/4989). The normalization process has been migrated to a typing-deduping method and doesn't use normalization anymore [[source]](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/15871). For your MySQL to Postgres connection, if you need the data in a specific format other than the raw JSON blob, you might need to perform the transformation yourself. You can still use custom dbt/dbt-cloud integrations at the end of the sync [[source]](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/25194). If you are experiencing issues with this, it might be helpful to upgrade to the latest version of the connector and try to sync the data again [[source]](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/32288).
