Change Data Capture (CDC) with Astra DB Now Makes Building Your Own Real-Time Data Pipeline Easy

Change Data Capture (CDC) is a solution that addresses the challenges of real-time applications by moving the responsibility of publishing change events from individual applications to the database serving the application. Traditional approaches have struggled with scaling and overhead, but CDC has emerged as a popular approach for eliminating these issues. Astra DB, an infinitely scalable, leaderless, distributed architecture like Apache Cassandra, now offers CDC for Astra DB powered by Astra Streaming, a multi-cloud streaming service built on Apache Pulsar. This enables organizations to create real-time data pipelines and accelerate the development of use cases important to data-driven enterprises.
