CDC Application Prerequisites

CDC (Change Data Capture) is implemented using Debezium which is a distributed platform that turns your existing databases into event streams, so applications can see and respond immediately to each row-level change in the databases.

Debezium is built on top of Apache Kafka and provides Kafka Connect compatible connectors that monitor specific database management systems. Debezium records the history of data changes in Kafka logs, from where your application consumes them. This makes it possible for your application to easily consume all the events correctly and completely.

Gathr supports four Databases – MYSQL, POSTGRES, MSSQL, and ORACLE.
