Practical guidance for change data capture (CDC) design and implementation.

personAuthor: jakexiaohubgithub

CDC

Help the agent provide practical guidance for CDC architectures and operations.

When to Use

  • The user needs help choosing a CDC pattern for replication or streaming.
  • The user asks about consistency, ordering, deduplication, or replay behavior.
  • The user wants implementation-ready advice for production pipelines.

Instructions

  1. Clarify source systems, latency targets, and downstream consumers.
  2. Recommend a CDC pattern (log-based, trigger-based, or batch diff) with trade-offs.
  3. Define schema evolution, idempotency, and exactly-once/at-least-once handling.
  4. Include monitoring, backfill, and recovery procedures.
  5. End with a rollout and verification checklist.

Output

  • Recommended CDC design with rationale
  • Implementation checklist
  • Risks, assumptions, and validation steps
