The Debezium Engine Quarkus Extension integrates the Debezium Embedded Engine into Quarkus applications, enabling developers to consume change data capture (CDC) events from supported databases (like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server) directly within a lightweight, cloud-native Quarkus Application.

This extension allows you to capture and react to database/datasource events without needing to run a separate Kafka Connect cluster.

Key Benefits:

• CDC in Quarkus: Seamlessly embeds Debezium into Quarkus apps, ideal for microservices use cases.

• Lightweight & Fast: Leverages native quarkus's fast startup time and low memory

• Kafka-free Option: Avoids the need for full Kafka infrastructure when only simple streaming or in-process processing is required.

• Developer Friendly: Simplifies setup with Quarkus-native configuration and dependency management.
