Chapter 12. Integrating with the Red Hat build of Debezium for change data capture

The Red Hat build of Debezium is a distributed change data capture platform. It captures row-level changes in databases, creates change event records, and streams the records to Kafka topics. Debezium is built on Apache Kafka. You can deploy and integrate the Red Hat build of Debezium with AMQ Streams. Following a deployment of AMQ Streams, you deploy Debezium as a connector configuration through Kafka Connect. Debezium passes change event records to AMQ Streams on OpenShift. Applications can read these change event streams and access the change events in the order in which they occurred.

Debezium has multiple uses, including:

To capture database changes, deploy Kafka Connect with a Debezium database connector. You configure a KafkaConnector resource to define the connector instance.

For more information on deploying the Red Hat build of Debezium with AMQ Streams, refer to the product documentation. The documentation includes a Getting Started with Debezium guide that guides you through the process of setting up the services and connector required to view change event records for database updates.
