   You're amazing, and I would like to wholeheartedly thank each and everyone of you!
  -I'm sure our community is continuing to grow in the future -- I'd love if we hit the mark of 200 contributors in 2020.
  +I'm sure our community will continue to grow in the future -- I'd love it if we hit the mark of 200 contributors in 2020.
   
   Equally important are our users; interacting with you in the chat, on the mailing list or at conferences and meet-ups is what helps to drive the direction of the project:
   learning about your specific requirements and use cases (or bugs you've run into) is vital for deciding where to put the focus next.
   A big thank you to you, too!
   
  -Some of you even have shared their experiences with Debezium in conference talks and blog posts.
  -Nothing beats to hear the war stories from others and being able to learn from their experiences,
  +Some of you have even shared their experiences with Debezium in conference talks and blog posts.
  +Nothing beats hearing the war stories of others and being able to learn from their experiences,
   so you speaking about your insights around Debezium and CDC is incredibly helpful and highly appreciated!

  -Let's wrap up this post with an outlook to what's next in store for Debezium.
  +Let's wrap up this post with a look to see what's next in store for Debezium.
   
   After some long over-due holidays, we're planning to begin the work on Debezium 1.1 in January.
   Some of the potential features you can look forward to are:
  
positive.code: setting up such integrations can be done without any coding,
  just by means of configuration.
  
  But there's many other use cases of CDC which go beyond just moving data from A to B.
  When adding stream processing into the picture, e.g. via Kafka Streams or Apache Flink,
  CDC enables you to run https://github.com/debezium/debezium-examples/tree/master/kstreams-live-update[time-windowed streaming queries], continuously updated as your data changes
  ("what's the aggregated order revenue per category within the last hour").
  You can use CDC to link:/blog/2019/10/01/audit-logs-with-change-data-capture-and-stream-processing/[build audit logs] of your data,
  telling who did change which data items at which time.
  Or update denormalized views of your data, for the sake of efficient data retrieval, adhering to the CQRS pattern.
  
  Finally, CDC also can play a vital role in microservices architectures;
  exchanging data between services and keeping local views of data owned by other services achieves a higher independence, without having to rely on synchronous API calls.
  One particularly interesting approach in this context is the link:/blog/2019/02/19/reliable-microservices-data-exchange-with-the-outbox-pattern/[outbox pattern],
  which is link:/documentation/reference/1.0/configuration/outbox-event-router.html[supported well] by Debezium.
  In case you don't start on the green field (who ever does?),
  CDC can be used to implement the strangler pattern for moving from a monolithic design to microservices.
  
  
negative.code: 
  For now, let's celebrate the release of Debezium 1.0 and look forward to what's coming in 2020.
  
  Onwards and Upwards!
