Change Data Capture (CDC)
Capture all changes as they happen, and improve real-time visibility and scale with CDC.
Real-time, Ready-to-use Data for Any Project
Real-time Data
CDC ensures all changes to data are immediately available downstream. Nexla makes change data accessible as a Nexset, a virtual data product that can be accessed by anyone without coding, and without having to handle the complexities of CDC.
Data Quality
When Nexla automatically creates a data product from a CDC stream, it adds validation rules to enforce data quality and manage schema evolution. Choose from a rich library of pre-built rules, or create your own to make sure you can trust your data.
Any Project
A Nexset for a CDC source can be reused anywhere, with any integration style, in real-time or batch, for any project across AI, analytics, data science, intercompany (B2B) integration, and operational real-time integration.
Real-time, Batch, or Both
Nexla processes data at any speed, from streams, APIs, and webhooks to large and infrequent batch pulls. Connect to a CDC source and create a Nexset. Whenever you reuse that Nexset in a flow, choose the best speed that meets your needs.
Any Integration Style
With Nexla you can reuse the same CDC connection and Nexset across all styles of integration – ELT/ETL, change data capture (CDC), replication, R-ETL, API integration, streaming, (S)FTP, GenAI RAG, bring your own (BYO) integration, and more.
Prepare and Transform Data
Using Nexsets, you can combine, prepare, filter, enrich, and validate CDC data without coding, using a rich library of pre-built transforms. You can also create your own reusable transformation rules in the Nexla Designer, and add your own SQL, Python, Javascript, and/or JSON code. This allows you to transform change data in-flight, before it arrives at each destination.
The Nexla Designer also recommends rules at each step based on what data you select and shows you results and errors as you work. Once done, this prepared, ready-to-use data can then be easily delivered to your destination without ever needing to code at all.
Modern DataOps
Nexla supports all the features you come to expect in enterprise-grade modern integration. Built-in data validation, monitoring, and alerting all help ensure CDC flows run smoothly and with minimal data processing errors and downtime.
Nexla also provides extensive support for modern DataOps and schema evolution. Nexla detects schema changes as they occur using continuous metadata intelligence, and determines how to propagate schema changes based on rules, such as adding attributes or creating a new version. This helps minimize downtime and full CDC restarts that would require a new snapshot.
Secure CDC for All
Nexla is secure by design. It doesn’t store data. All data products are virtual. But it does enforce data encryption in motion and at rest, data privacy policies to obfuscate data, and advanced secrets management. It supports 3rd party Identity and Access Management (IAM) integration. Nexla also lets you deploy anywhere. It offers private deployment as an option, and local data processing by region.
