Confluent Cloud Cdc Tableflow

---
name: confluent-cloud-cdc-tableflow
description: Set up end-to-end Change Data Capture (CDC) pipelines on Confluent Cloud using Debezium source connectors, Flink for transformation, and Tableflow for data lake integration. Supports JSON_SR, Avro, and Protobuf formats. Handles schemaless topics (plain JSON without SR) and multi-event topics. This skill handles the complete workflow from database to Iceberg/Delta tables. Use this skill when users want to capture database changes and materialize them into Iceberg or Delta Lake tables via Confluent Cloud Tableflow. Trigger phrases include "CDC to Tableflow", "database to Iceberg", "database to Delta Lake", "stream database changes to data lake", "set up Tableflow pipeline", "schemaless topic to Tableflow", or "multi-event topic to Iceberg". Do NOT trigger for general CDC, Debezium, or database replication requests that do not involve Tableflow or Iceberg/Delta Lake as the destination.

# Confluent Cloud CDC to Tableflow Pipeline

Build production-ready Change Data Capture pipelines that stream database changes through Confluent Cloud to Iceberg or Delta Lake tables using Debezium, Flink, and Tableflow.

## Overview

This skill automates the setup of a complete CDC pipeline:

**Database → Debezium CDC Connector → Kafka + Schema Registry → Flink (decode & transform) → Tableflow → Iceberg/Delta Tables**

### Supported Databases (Fully-Managed Debezium Connectors Only)
- Microsoft SQL Server CDC Source V2
- MySQL CDC Source V2
- PostgreSQL CDC Source V2
- Oracle XStream CDC Source
- DynamoDB CDC Source
