Real-time CDC using Postgres, Debezium, and Redpanda

Postgres, a widely used open-source database management system, provides multiple methods for implementing change data capture (CDC) to monitor and capture real-time changes in data. This tutorial focuses on using Postgres's logical replication feature in conjunction with Debezium and Redpanda to achieve CDC. The process involves setting up a Postgres database to capture data changes, which are then streamed to Redpanda topics via Kafka Connect with the Debezium plug-in. This setup enables real-time data streaming, which can be applied in use cases like updating user addresses in a GPS-based delivery system or managing room availability in a hotel reservation platform. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on configuring the necessary components, including Docker, Redpanda, and Kafka Connect, and demonstrates how to consume data from Redpanda topics. By following this tutorial, users can explore new data streaming possibilities and learn more about integrating Redpanda with their applications for real-time data analytics.
