Change Data Capture

# Change Data Capture (CDC) Case Study

# Business Scenario

In modern enterprise applications, database changes need to be captured and processed in real-time to support downstream systems such as data warehouses, cache updates, and audit logs. StreamSQL can be used to implement efficient change data capture (CDC) processing.

# Typical Scenarios

  • Data Warehouse Synchronization: Real-time synchronization of database changes to data warehouses
  • Cache Invalidation: Real-time update of cache data based on database changes
  • Audit Log: Record all database change operations for audit purposes
  • Real-time Analytics: Analyze business trends based on database change data
  • Event-Driven Architecture: Trigger downstream business processes based on database changes

# Data Model

# Input Data Format

Database Change Event:

{
  "table_name": "users",
  "operation": "UPDATE",
  "before_data": {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Alice",
    "email": "alice@old.com",
    "status": "active",
    "updated_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
  },
  "after_data": {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Alice",
    "email": "alice@new.com",
    "status": "inactive",
    "updated_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:05Z"
  },
  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:05Z"
