Debezium is an open source distributed platform for change data capture. Start it up, point it at your databases, and your apps can start responding to all of the inserts, updates, and deletes that other apps commit to your databases. Debezium is durable and fast, so your apps can respond quickly and never miss an event, even when things go wrong.
React every time your data changes without modifying the apps that write it. Purge caches, update search indexes and keep other systems in sync.
Stop making one service update the database and the search index and the cache. Move that work into services that consume change events instead.
Take services down for maintenance and Debezium resumes exactly where it left off, in commit order, without dropping an event.
Built for low latency and high throughput. Proven, scalable, and comfortable with large volumes of data.
The same connectors, the same change events, several different runtimes. Pick the one that matches the infrastructure you already run.
The classic distributed installation
Run Debezium connectors inside a Kafka Connect cluster and stream change events straight into Apache Kafka topics.
The managed way to run Debezium on Kubernetes
A web front end over the Debezium Operator. Design a pipeline once, from source through transforms to destination, and the Platform deploys and manages it on your cluster.
Standalone, no Kafka required
A ready-to-run application that captures changes and sends them to a messaging infrastructure of your choice.
Operator managed, cloud native
Declare your pipelines as custom resources and let the Debezium Operator reconcile them the way Kubernetes reconciles everything else.
A stable series for production and a development series for what is coming next.

Retrieval pipelines and agents are only as current as the data behind them. Debezium turns every committed row change into an event, and can parse, vectorise and deliver it to a vector store without any glue code in between.
Explore Debezium for AIThe Embeddings transformation vectorises text as it passes through, using Ollama, Hugging Face, Voyage AI or a local ONNX model.
The Docling transformation converts PDF, DOCX and HTML into a form a language model can actually consume.
Debezium Server writes to Qdrant and Milvus directly, so the vector index follows the database rather than a nightly job.
Vector column types are captured with their semantics intact, and the Vector to JSON transformation remaps them when you need something plainer.
One event format, one set of guarantees, across every supported platform.
