It introduces Aerospike's Change Notification (CN), which is similar to CDC but differs in how changes are reported.

The text also outlines several potential use cases of the tool, such as exporting Aerospike Change Notification messages to Elasticsearch and streaming data to AI/ML services like AWS SageMaker or Google AI. Finally, it announces the general availability of Aerospike Connect for ESP for Change Notification and encourages users to download and try it out.
