Ask HN: Do you use CDC for database accidental mistakes?

by vira28 on 4/23/23, 3:18 AM with 1 comments

I see a lot of benefits of CDC, but can it also be used for database OOPS recovery? (i.e. accidental delete or update) I don't see that being mentioned in https://debezium.io/documentation/faq/#what_are_some_uses_of_debezium or other places. Any challenges in using it for that purpose?

    For those scratching their head on some of the acronyms/terms used:

      - CDC => Change Data Capture
    
      - Oops recovery (a colloquial term) => Fixing consequences of accidental changes
