Amazon Aurora DSQL is offering support for change data capture (CDC), in preview, enabling users to stream real-time database changes directly to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams.
According to AWS, this fully managed capability removes the need to build or maintain custom streaming pipelines, making it easier to build event-driven applications, power real-time analytics pipelines, and synchronize data across systems.
Aurora DSQL automatically captures the result of insert, update, and delete operations as change events. Users can utilize these events to synchronize data across microservices, trigger downstream processing with AWS Lambda, or deliver to Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon OpenSearch Service through Amazon Data Firehose for analytics.
CDC streaming requires no infrastructure setup and is designed to have zero impact on the database workload, so users can stream changes without affecting database throughput or latency, said AWS.
CDC streaming in preview is available in all AWS Regions where Aurora DSQL is available. Streams are billed using Distributed Processing Units (DPUs) based on the volume of data captured, with standard Amazon Kinesis Data Streams pricing applying separately.
