Databases

Weld can integrate with many different of databases, providing easy to set up, no-code managed data pipelines for easy database replication.

Change Data Capture (CDC)

Change Data Capture (CDC) continuously streams row-level inserts, updates, and deletes from your database into Weld. Instead of scanning whole tables on a schedule, CDC reads a database’s native change stream (for example, transaction logs or change streams) and applies changes to your destination with lower latency and reduced load on the source.

When to use CDC

• You want near real-time replication
• You need reliable deletes and updates
• You want to avoid frequent full-table scans on large tables

How CDC works in Weld

1. Weld connects to your database using a dedicated user.
2. Weld consumes the database’s change stream for the selected tables/collections.
3. Changes are applied to your destination according to your latency/apply settings.

What you’ll typically configure

• Network access (so Weld can reach your database)
• A database user with the right permissions
• The tables/collections to replicate
• A destination schema/dataset and naming settings
