Debezium is an open-source project that is building a distributed platform for capturing changes from databases with very low latency. Written in Java and working heavily with DBMS-specific features to create connectors that capture the changes and write them as events to Kafka in the same order they appear in the databases, allowing other applications and services to consume and react to these changes, Debezium is designed to never miss changes, even when things go wrong.
