Preface

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

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

Prerequisites

Before you can use Debezium to capture changes in 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 MySQL Connector 1.2.

    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.
