In the cloud-native era, the importance of real-time data access and processing is highlighted through a tutorial that integrates Redpanda and MongoDB via Debezium for Change Data Capture (CDC). The tutorial illustrates how to set up a data streaming pipeline using Docker containers, with Redpanda serving as a backbone for real-time data streaming and MongoDB functioning as a scalable NoSQL database for storing dynamic data like transactional logs and user behavior data. By employing the Kafka Connect API and Debezium's MongoDB connector, businesses can efficiently track and log changes in MongoDB, streaming them to Redpanda for further processing or integration with other monitoring and event-triggering platforms. Through the example of the fictional company Pandonline Corp., the tutorial showcases the practical application of these technologies to manage and expose visitor activity data in real time, emphasizing the synergy between Redpanda's fast streaming capabilities and MongoDB's robust data management features.
