Solution · Real-time integration

CDC streaming without source overhead

Capture committed database changes from transaction logs and deliver them continuously to databases, event streams, and data platforms—without polling full tables.

The challenge

Batch windows hide what changed

Polling and scheduled extracts create stale copies, consume source resources, and make recovery harder when networks or targets pause.

01 / Latency

Data arrives too late

Periodic jobs leave applications and analytics working from an increasingly stale view of operational data.

02 / Source load

Polling competes with production

Repeated table scans consume CPU, I/O, and connections on the systems carrying the business workload.

03 / Reliability

Interruptions create gaps

Fragile scripts make it difficult to preserve ordering and resume safely after maintenance or network loss.

How it works

From commit log to target, continuously

Gluesync places lightweight agents close to each system, captures committed changes, and coordinates delivery through Core Hub.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Read the native change stream

    Source agents read transaction logs, journals, or native CDC APIs instead of repeatedly scanning tables.

  2. 02

    Coordinate

    Buffer and route through Core Hub

    Durable local queues and pipeline state preserve events while a target or network path is unavailable.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Apply changes in order

    Target agents translate inserts, updates, and deletes for the destination and resume from acknowledged progress.

Gluesync capabilities

A CDC foundation built for heterogeneous estates

Use the same control plane for initial loading, continuous capture, transformation, and operational recovery.

01

Log-based capture

Capture committed row changes with low source impact across supported relational and NoSQL engines.

  • Transaction-log and journal readers
  • Insert, update, and delete handling
  • Configurable low-latency polling
02

Initial load to CDC handoff

Seed the target with a snapshot, then continue with incremental changes using the same entity mapping.

  • Parallel snapshot partitions
  • Target writing concurrency
  • Bulk ingestion for large tables
03

Resilient delivery

Keep capture and delivery decoupled so temporary outages do not require a full reload.

  • Persistent source-side queues
  • Automatic reconnection
  • Per-entity monitoring and control

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers about log-based capture, initial snapshots, resilient delivery, and CDC targets.

What is change data capture streaming?

Change data capture streaming reads committed inserts, updates, and deletes from a database change stream and delivers them continuously to downstream systems.

Does Gluesync CDC repeatedly scan source tables?

No. Supported source agents read transaction logs, journals, or native CDC APIs instead of repeatedly polling full tables.

How does Gluesync handle the initial data load?

Gluesync can seed a target with a parallel snapshot and then continue with incremental changes using the same entity mapping.

What happens if a target or network path is unavailable?

Persistent source-side queues keep capture and delivery decoupled so the pipeline can reconnect and resume from acknowledged progress after a temporary interruption.

Where can CDC changes be delivered?

Gluesync can deliver captured changes to supported databases, event streams, cloud warehouses, object storage, and other data-platform targets.
