Chapter 1. Debezium Overview

Debezium for Red Hat Integration is a distributed platform that captures database operations, creates data change event records for row-level operations, and streams change event records to Apache Kafka topics. Debezium is built on Apache Kafka and is deployed and integrated with AMQ Streams.

Debezium captures row-level changes to a database table and passes corresponding change events to AMQ Streams. Applications can read these change event streams and access the change events in the order in which they occurred.

Debezium is the upstream community project for Debezium for Red Hat Integration.

Debezium has multiple uses, including:

Data replication
Updating caches and search indexes
Simplifying monolithic applications
Data integration
Enabling streaming queries

Debezium provides connectors (based on Kafka Connect) for the following common databases:
