Change data capture

Hi there! Change Data Capture (CDC) is a way to keep track of changes that happen to information in a database.

Imagine you have a box with toys inside. Let's say you want to know when a toy is added or taken out of the box. CDC is like a special helper that watches the box, and whenever a toy is added or taken out, the helper makes a note of it.

Now, instead of a toy box, imagine you have a database with lots of information inside, like names, dates, and numbers. CDC works in a similar way: it keeps an eye on that database and notices when any information is added, deleted, or updated.

This is really important because it helps us keep track of all the changes that happen to the information in the database. It's like having an extra pair of eyes to watch it all the time, so we don't miss anything.

So to summarize, Change Data Capture is a way to keep track of changes that happen to information in a database, and it helps us keep a record of all those changes so that we can stay up to date with what's happening.
