Change Data Capture: Streaming Database Changes to Downstream Systems
📰 Dev.to · Dylan Dumont
Learn how to stream database changes to downstream systems using Change Data Capture (CDC) to improve data freshness and reduce latency
Action Steps
- Implement Change Data Capture (CDC) to stream database changes
- Configure CDC to capture changes from the source database
- Build a data pipeline to process and transform captured changes
- Integrate the pipeline with downstream systems for real-time updates
- Test and monitor the CDC pipeline for data consistency and latency
