March 2024 Summaries

PeerDB has released an Azure Event Hubs connector that enables fast and reliable Change Data Capture (CDC) from PostgreSQL to Azure Event Hubs, allowing real-time data consumption by downstream applications. This solution addresses the limitations of existing tools like Debezium, offering enhanced configurability, lower setup and maintenance costs, and native support for Azure Event Hubs APIs. PeerDB's SQL layer simplifies replication management, while its performance optimizations ensure sub-second latency at high throughputs. Additionally, the solution provides advanced security features, such as guaranteed isolation across topics, and comprehensive observability tools. PeerDB is currently being used in production by large-scale Postgres Azure customers and offers a 30-day free trial for its cloud service.
