Debezium is a Change Data Capture (CDC) platform that supports multiple data sources, including both relational and some non-relational databases. The main supported sources are relational DBMSs such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle.
Support for non-relational databases is limited. For example, Debezium has a connector for MongoDB, which allows tracking changes in this document-oriented database. However, for other non-relational databases like Cassandra, Couchbase, support may be absent or experimental.
If your database is changing to a non-relational one, it is worth checking if Debezium has a corresponding connector. Otherwise, you may need to use other CDC tools specific to the chosen database or implement your own change tracking mechanisms.
