Confluent platform vs Debezium


I'm trying to use Debezium platform to make a Kafka-cdc.But I was confused. What is really difference between Confluent platform and Debezium?


Solution

  • Confluent (https://www.confluent.io/) is a platform which mainly integrate Apache-Kafka (https://kafka.apache.org/) and its ecosystems. So let say the basic Confluent platform has Zookeeper, apache kafka, KSql and thier Control Center.

    Debezium is another platform to focus Database Streaming.

    So you think Confluent is the general Streaming, and Debezium actually has a connector https://debezium.io/documentation/reference/stable/connectors/index.html that can be integreted to Confluent like in https://www.confluent.io/hub/debezium/debezium-connector-postgresql
