[CDC] Maxwell vs Debezium

CDC CDC stands for 'Change Data Capture', in a short sentence, it captures data changes mostly from DB. Maxwell and Debezium are two most known tools used for CDC, while Maxwell is light-weight daemon specialized foe MySQL only where Debezium is a big giant supporting many DBs focusing on distributed systems. Maxwell: Simple, low-setup tool. Standalone daemon. JSON format output, easy and common way to integrate with others MySQL only, limited schema features. Debezium: Good for complex architectures requiring high reliability. Supports multiple DBs, robust, large community, schema-aware. Architecture: Distributed (Kafka Connect). Key differences: Supported Databases: Debezium supports PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQL Server, and MySQL, whereas Maxwell is strictly for MySQL. Architecture: Debezium is built for distributed, fault-tolerant environments. Maxwell is a simpler, single-process tool. Data Format: Debezium provides richer schema information, while Maxwell produces simpler, flatter JSO
