Nice read! The only thing I'm missing is to mention absolute number of responses. If it's intentionally not provided, then it should be removed from the third picture ("Switched away 3 out of 69")
@vjuranek, that's a good point, and one I'm not really sold on how best to convey that. On the one hand, I could imagine some who would like to know the actual number of respondents. On the other hand, I could imagine that knowing the actual number could evoke mixed feelings about the sample size. For this reason, I was actually considering converting that metric to a percentage, as I think 0.04% looks better, and it also aligns that with the other chart representations. What does everyone think about that? |

@Naros Percentage is fine but if you don't want to make any assumptions on sample size then you should probably replace the term dozens at the beginning of article with numerous. |
| The scale at which people are running Debezium is worth pausing on. | ||
| When we asked about change throughput, responses ranged from as low as 1-25 changes per minute up to 1-2 million changes per minute. | ||
| Many environments operate in the tens or hundreds of thousands per minute. | ||
| Some PostgreSQL environments see technical commit counts up to 19k per minute during peak transaction loads. |

Can we have a chart that would create buckets of traffic and correlate it with theprecentage of respondents.

That's awesome, so many great insights in that one!

| Earlier this year, we asked the Debezium community to tell us how they're using the project, what's working, and where we need to do better. |

| Additionally, **98.6% of respondents** are currently using Debezium or plan to within the next year. | ||
| Of those currently using it, 91.3% are active users. |

What does that mean? How can one be currently using it, but not actively?
| Additionally, **98.6% of respondents** are currently using Debezium or plan to within the next year. | ||
| Of those currently using it, 91.3% are active users. | ||
| Only three respondents had switched to other solutions. | ||
| For an open-source project competing against well-funded commercial alternatives, that retention is remarkable. |

That feels a bit misleading, I mean it's not as if Debezium isn't commercially funded?

That's true, I suppose my framing here needs work. It might be better to avoid the comparison here and just stick to the retention positive aspect.

@Naros I think the sentence can stay, just drop competing against well-funded commercial alternatives.

I wordsmithed it a bit and I think this frames the intent better:
Additionally, Debezium's adoption numbers tell a compelling story: nearly all respondents (98.6%), are either actively using it or plan to within the next year, with 91.3% of those already in active use today.
With only 4.3% of respondents having moved to a competing solution or no longer needing a CDC at all, the retention speaks for itself.

Is that change events, or transactions (with multiple events)? If it's the former, I'd have expected much higher numbers, actually. We know folks use Debezium for emitting hundreds of thousands of events per sec. Nobody in the survey reporting that scale? If so, it would be worth to drop somewhere that Debezium scales beyond those numbers.

We asked for changes per minute.

Gotcha. In general, I think xyz/sec is the better metric; it's established and lets people honestly compare.

What is "technical commit count"?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
An auto-correct mistake. That should likely just be "commit counts".

I removed it as I don't think it provides much value to this section, as the updated section I think is clear and concise. Let me know what you think, @gunnarmorling.
