Preface

This tutorial demonstrates how to use Debezium to monitor a MySQL database. As the data in the database changes, you will see the resulting event streams.

In this tutorial you will start the Debezium services in OpenShift, run a MySQL database server with a simple example database, and use Debezium to monitor the database for changes.

Prerequisites

Before you can use Debezium to monitor a MySQL database, you must have:

  • Access to an OpenShift Container Platform 4.x cluster with cluster-admin privileges

  • The AMQ Streams 1.5 OpenShift installation and example files

    You can download these files from the AMQ Streams download site.

  • The Debezium 1.1 MySQL Connector

    You can download these files from the Red Hat Integration download site.

Note

These prerequisites apply to the MySQL connector. Other Debezium connectors may have different prerequisites.
