@Bharathraj_4575 It’s a Minor Patch upgrade that we need to perform and it won’t take much time, anyway. Hotfix option is not available from 8.6.5 version. ---

@KishoreSanagapalli So, do you recommend us to update to 8.7 or this version is not necessary to update? ---

@LucíaB20 If you have any bugs which needs attention to fix but hotfix is notavailable, I’d recomend to proceed for upgrade. But, for 8.7.x versions and higher, it’s evident that external kafka setup is mandatory since Stream node is deprecated. So first focus on the External Kafka setup for your application before getting ready for an upgrade to 8.7.x versions. If there’s no urgency to upgrade to 8.7.x versions but need some issues in the current version 8.6.3 to be addressed, I’d recommend you to perform the upgrade for 8.6.6 version for the time being and work on External Kakfa setup later.
