Building data pipelines with Vitess

Building data pipelines using Vitess involves leveraging its VStream API, which is part of VReplication and allows for various types of data replication and transformation. This feature is particularly useful in Change Data Capture (CDC) scenarios, where it helps maintain in-sync copies of data across different systems. Vitess' primitives make it easy to build data pipelines, with popular CDC tools like Debezium using the VStream API to capture changes and propagate them to other systems. The VStream client outputs changes that are being streamed from a VTGate in real-time, allowing users to maintain a Data Warehouse or Data Lake for analytics and reporting purposes.
