CDC
Change Data Capture
Definition
CDC captures row-level changes (inserts, updates, deletes) from database transaction logs and streams them in near-real-time to downstream systems. Tools like Debezium read PostgreSQL or MySQL WAL to emit change events to Kafka.
CDC enables event-driven integration between operational databases and analytics systems without polling or custom triggers.
