I’m very happy to announce the release of Debezium 1.8.0.Beta1!
This release is packed with exciting new features like support for MongoDB 5.0, an outbox event router for the MongoDB connector and support for Postgres logical decoding messages, as well as tons of bugfixes and other improvements. Overall, not less than 63 issues have been fixed for this release.
Let’s take a closer look at some of them.

Today, it is a common practise to build data lakes for analytics, reporting or machine learning needs.
In this blog post we will describe a simple way to build a data lake. The solution is using a realtime data pipeline based on Debezium, supporting ACID transactions, SQL updates and is highly scalable. And it’s not required to have Apache Kafka or Apache Spark applications to build the data feed, reducing complexity of the overall solution.
