Real-Time CDC Replication

What You'll Learn

This tutorial demonstrates how to set up real-time change data capture (CDC) replication from MySQL to Neon PostgreSQL. Perfect for maintaining synchronized databases and real-time data pipelines.

Tutorial Coverage

• CDC Fundamentals: Understanding change data capture concepts
• MySQL Configuration: Enabling binary logging and setting up source database
• Neon Setup: Configuring your Neon PostgreSQL target database
• Stream Configuration: Setting up real-time replication streams
• Monitoring: Tracking replication performance and data consistency
• Troubleshooting: Common issues and solutions

Prerequisites

• DBConvert Streams deployed and running
• MySQL database with binary logging enabled
• Neon PostgreSQL account and database
• Network access between source and target databases

Key Benefits of CDC

• Real-time sync: Changes replicated instantly
• Minimal impact: Low overhead on source database
• Incremental updates: Only changed data is transferred
• Resume: Durable checkpoints for controlled restart recovery
