A Smooth Sea Never Made a Skillful Sailor

This is an exploratory article delving into various ways to ingest real-time data into Snowflake. The premise of the article is to examine the level of difficulty and effort required to ingest change data capture (CDC) data into Snowflake. Previous Articles on Snowflake Integrating Snowflake with Trino Previous Articles on CockroachDB CDC Using CockroachDB CDC with Apache Pulsar Using CockroachDB CDC with Azure Event Hubs SaaS Galore: Integrating CockroachDB with Confluent Kafka, FiveTran and Snowflake Using CockroachDB CDC with Confluent Cloud Kafka and Schema Registry CockroachDB CDC using Minio as cloud storage sink CockroachDB CDC using Hadoop Ozone S3 Gateway as cloud storage sink Motivation I work with financial services clients, and it's common to encounter a need for streaming changes in the operational datastore into a data warehouse or a data lake. A former colleague recently reached out for advice on the fastest and most efficient way to load trade data...

As of this writing, CockroachDB does not have official support for protobuf payload as part of change data capture. Today, I am going to demonstrate a feature that may or may not land in CockroachDB proper. The product team is looking into viability of the feature before we can officially support it.

It's a common choice for platforms needing to pass messages between systems. CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database built on a transactional and strongly-consi...

Today, we're going to evaluate Hadoop Ozone object store for CockroachDB object store sink viability. A bit of caution, this article only explores the art of possible, please use the ideas in this article at your own risk! Firstly, Hadoop Ozone is a new object store Hadoop Community is working on. It exposes an S3 API backed by HDFS and can scale to billions of files on prem! This article only scratches the surface, for everything there is to learn about Hadoop and Ozone , navigate to their respective websites.

Today, we’re going to explore CDC capability in CockroachDB Enterprise Edition using Minio object store as sink. To achieve this, we’re going to reuse the compose file from the first two tutorials and finally bring this to a close. Without further ado
