@gunu, this sounds like a good alternative. However, we have not tried this out yet.
For databases, this quarter (Q4 2021) we are focusing on non-CDC connections, and trying to make they much more robust and performant than they are now.
We will look into improving CDC connections + schema evolution next quarter (Q1 2022). Given the limited bandwidth, I’m afraid that we won’t test any advanced CDC idea until then. But we will definitely take into account what you have suggested here.
