Consuming CDC with Java, Go… and Rust!
Blog post from ScyllaDB
The blog post introduces a new guide on using the ScyllaDB Change Data Capture (CDC) with the Rust programming language, adding to previous resources for Java and Go. It highlights the scylla-cdc-rust library, which simplifies the process of consuming CDC logs in Rust applications by handling errors and topology changes of the ScyllaDB cluster. The guide walks through setting up a Rust application to read and print real-time changes to a database table using this library. It emphasizes the importance of defining a callback function, implementing relevant Rust traits for asynchronous operations, and managing shared state between consumer instances efficiently. The post also provides a brief overview of configuring the application, including establishing a database connection and setting up a log reader. Additionally, it suggests further reading materials for more complex implementations in Java and Go, offering detailed examples and documentation links for those interested in exploring CDC capabilities further.
