thanks for your work on debezium! cdc to kafka has been a game changer for our data pipelines, so much easier to make generalized tooling at this level. our old pipeline requires either immutable rows with autoincrement primary keys or last modified dates with a secondary index on every table. it doesn't capture all the changes for example if a row is modified twice before the pipeline sees it the first update won't be recorded in the history. it also doesn't propagate deletes. debezium solves both of those issues plus doesn't require the application developers to do anything special for their data to get into the analytics systems. now instead of sounding like a broken record telling people to add last modified dates to all their tables i can sound like a broken record telling people to stop violating single source of truth by dual writing (which is a much better problem to have as before i had given up on single source of truth even being possible in a large organization)
