In today’s always-on, global applications, raw speed is no longer enough. Modern enterprises demand not only blistering transaction rates but also unwavering stability when the unexpected strikes; whether that’s a network hiccup, a failing disk, or an entire data center going dark. With organizations averaging 86 outages a year, failures are the norm today. But traditional benchmarks like TPC-C only tell you how fast a database runs in perfect conditions, or sunny days. They leave out the more important story of what happens when things go wrong.

Change data capture (CDC) is one of those data infrastructure patterns that quietly supports everything else. Event-driven microservices, real-time analytics, incremental ELT pipelines, operational alerting — they all depend on the same thing: a reliable stream of changes coming out of your transactional database.

Information today is generated and consumed in unprecedented magnitudes. With every click, swipe, and transaction, massive amounts of data are collected, waiting to be harnessed for insights, decision-making, and innovation. Today, more than 80% of the data that organizations generate is unstructured – and the amount of this data type will only grow in the coming decades.
