CDC and Data Streaming: Capture Database Changes in Real Time with Debezium PostgreSQL Connector

Change data capture (CDC) is a design pattern that tracks database table changes, enabling real-time monitoring and instant reactions to updates. CDC has evolved from being a solution for database replication and migration to becoming a key component of data streaming platforms, providing real-time insights and triggering event-driven workflows. Debezium is an open source distributed platform for CDC that works with multiple databases and integrates seamlessly with Confluent Cloud. The latest version of Debezium connectors offers significant improvements in performance, error handling, configuration options, and metadata expansion. By leveraging fully managed CDC connectors from Confluent, users can simplify data integration while ensuring high throughput and performance.
