Change Data Capture

Change Data Capture (CDC) is a method used to identify and track alterations in data within a database. It records changes such as inserts, updates, or deletes, and then transfers this information to other systems or applications. This process enables real-time or near-real-time data synchronization, ensuring data is current across different platforms without needing to repeatedly copy entire datasets. CDC is vital for maintaining data consistency, supporting analytics, and enabling efficient data integration in a way that minimizes system load and reduces latency.
