Materialize Change Data Capture (CDC) Streams with Tableflow in Confluent Cloud

Tableflow supports the Debezium change log format and the append-only change log mode. Change data capture (CDC) change logs can be ingested into Kafka topics using any Debezium CDC source connector, such as those for MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server. Once the CDC events are written to Kafka, Tableflow can be enabled on those topics to process and materialize the data efficiently.

To ensure compatibility, the CDC connector must be explicitly configured with After-state only = true, so that only the latest state of each change event is captured in the stream.
