CDC Pipeline Architecture on AWS Using Firehose and Glue

Change Data Capture (CDC) has become essential for modern data architectures, enabling real-time data synchronization, analytics, and event-driven workflows. When building CDC pipelines on AWS, combining Kinesis Firehose with AWS Glue creates a powerful, serverless architecture that scales automatically and requires minimal operational overhead. This approach leverages AWS-managed services to capture database changes, stream them … Read more

End-to-End CDC Pipeline Using Debezium and Kinesis Firehose

Change Data Capture (CDC) has become essential for modern data architectures that demand real-time synchronization between operational databases and analytical systems. Traditional batch ETL processes introduce latency that can render data obsolete by the time it reaches downstream consumers. By combining Debezium’s robust CDC capabilities with AWS Kinesis Firehose’s managed streaming service, you can build … Read more

Kinesis Data Stream vs Firehose: Choosing the Right AWS Streaming Service

Amazon Web Services offers two distinct services for handling streaming data: Kinesis Data Streams and Kinesis Data Firehose. While both process real-time data and share the Kinesis brand, they serve fundamentally different purposes and operate on different architectural principles. Choosing incorrectly between them can lead to unnecessary complexity, higher costs, or architectural limitations that force … Read more
