How to Implement a CDC Data Pipeline in Snowflake Using Fivetran

Change Data Capture (CDC) has become essential for modern data architectures that require real-time or near-real-time data synchronization. Rather than replicating entire tables repeatedly, CDC identifies and captures only the changes—inserts, updates, and deletes—dramatically reducing data transfer volumes and enabling incremental updates. Fivetran simplifies CDC implementation by handling the complexity of log-based replication, transformation, and … Read more
