When (and why) you should use change data capture
Change data capture (CDC) can simplify and improve both your application and data architectures. The trick is to figure out the most effective use cases where employing CDC will have the desired impact. In this blog, I’m going to unpack two useful CDC use cases: The first is streaming data to your data warehouse and the second is event-driven architectures. By no means are these the only two use cases for change data capture, but they are excellent examples for demonstrating the ways that CDC can simplify application and data architecture.
