Debezium Blog

Hello Debezium Community! I am Alvar Viana and exactly one month ago I joined Red Hat and the Debezium team. I am a software engineer with almost 10 years of professional experience. In my career, I have always worked for product companies/projects. Started as backend/embedded developer for a company that was acquired ABB.

When it comes to replicating operational data for analytics, Change Data Capture (CDC) is the gold standard. It offers scalability, near real-time performance, and captures all data modifications, ensuring your analytical datasets are always up-to-date. Debezium is a leading tool in this space, connecting to a wide range of databases and exporting CDC events in various formats like JSON and Avro, making integration with diverse systems a breeze.

While Debezium itself is a Java-based project, the data engineering world increasingly relies on Python. This blog post demonstrates how to leverage Debezium within a Python environment, using pydbzengine. We’ll explore how to use these technologies to build a robust and scalable CDC solution.

This maintenance release does not introduce any new features but does address several outstanding bugs. Please take a moment and review the release notes for more details.

Nevertheless, or precisely because of that, I thought I could at least contribute a few written lines about a subject that is quite important probably not only...
