Debezium Server 3.7 adds Zerobus sink
Understand this story
The open-source Debezium Server Zerobus sink, built by Databricks engineers in collaboration with NVIDIA, has been released with Debezium Server 3.7. It pushes change events from databases such as PostgreSQL directly into Delta tables in Unity Catalog, without the need to deploy an intermediate Kafka cluster. The sink has two modes: the default Typed mode maps each change event to a table that uses the source table's own columns; the Envelope mode contributed by NVIDIA writes the complete Debezium change event into a fixed nine-column table. Databricks states that the delivery semantics are at-least-once.

- Databricks BlogPush-based CDC into Unity Catalog with Zerobus Ingest and Debezium
Debezium Server 3.7 ships an open-source Zerobus Ingest sink, built by Databricks with NVIDIA's contribution of envelope mode, that pushes change events directly into Unity Catalog Delta tables without a Kafka cluster between capture and the lakehouse. Envelope mode lands each full Debezium change event in a fixed nine-column table with source position and an idempotency key, and the sink waits for Zerobus to confirm durability before Debezium advances its offset, giving at-least-once delivery. Landed events can then be shaped into Type-1 current-state tables via AUTO CDC sequenced by source LSN, or Type-2 history tables.
