Event-driven architectures using Neon and Sequin

Event-driven architectures using Neon and Sequin offer a streamlined approach to capturing and processing database changes without the complexity of traditional tools like Debezium and Kafka. By utilizing Sequin, changes in a Postgres database can be detected and streamed in real-time through logical replication slots, enabling immediate processing by consumers. This approach allows for the streaming of database changes directly from Neon without duplicating data, leveraging Neon's developer tools such as branching and recovery. The setup involves connecting a Neon database to Sequin, configuring tables for streaming, and creating consumer groups to process changes, all while ensuring exactly-once processing guarantees. The integration simplifies the infrastructure required for change data capture, making it accessible through Sequin's APIs and avoiding the need for additional dependencies.
