Prompted by a question on StackOverflow I thought I’d take a quick look at setting up ksqlDB to ingest CDC events from Microsoft SQL Server using Debezium. Some of this is based on my previous article, Streaming data from SQL Server to Kafka to Snowflake ❄️ with Kafka Connect. Setting up the Docker Compose I like standalone, repeatable, demo code. For that reason I love using Docker Compose and I embed everything in there - connector installation, the kitchen sink - the works.
