A scalable Netflix DBLog implementation for PostgreSQL
- DDL commands are also captured
- One unified gRPC Streaming API for consuming the latest changes and on-demand dumps
- The changes and dumps are streamed in Postgres Binary Representation to save bandwidth
- Dumps are neither queried from source database nor injected into the source CDC stream. Instead, They are dumped from the logical replicas and are injected into the selected downstreams by the grpc gateway service.
- Therefore, the on-demand dump process can be scaled by adding more logical replicas and consumers. And most importantly, dumps process will not have impact to source database as well as other downstream consumers who don't need those dumps.
- Primary keys of tables aren't limited to be a single numeric column, because dumps are performed by PostgreSQL TID Scan instead of performed on the primary key.
- Robust Microservice Event Sourcing
- Data synchronization, Moving data to other databases (ex. for OLAP)
- Upgrade PostgreSQL with minimum downtime
- pglogical postgresql extension
- pgcapture postgresql extension
See ./hack/postgres/Dockerfile for installation guide.

"context"

)
// MyTable implements pgcapture.Model interface
// and will be decoded from change that matching the TableName()
type MyTable struct {
ID pgtype.Int4 `pg:"id"` // the field needed to be decoded should be a pgtype struct,
Value pgtype.Text `pg:"my_value"` // and has a 'pg' tag specifying the name mapping explicitly
}
func (t *MyTable) TableName() (schema, table string) {
return "public", "my_table"
}
func (t MyTable) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error) {
return pgcapture.MarshalJSON(&t) // ignore unchanged TOAST field
}
func main() {
ctx := context.Background()
conn, _ := grpc.Dial("127.0.0.1:1000", grpc.WithInsecure())
defer conn.Close()
consumer := pgcapture.NewConsumer(ctx, conn, pgcapture.ConsumerOption{
// the uri identify which change stream you want.
// you can implement dblog.SourceResolver to customize gateway behavior based on uri
URI: "my_subscription_id",
})
defer consumer.Stop()
consumer.Consume(map[pgcapture.Model]pgcapture.ModelHandlerFunc{
&MyTable{}: func(change pgcapture.Change) error {
row := change.New.(*MyTable)
// and then handle the decoded change event
if row.Value.Status == pgtype.Undefined {
// handle the unchanged toast field
}
return nil
},
})
}Since unchanged TOAST fields will not be present in the change stream, the corresponding model fields will remain undefined and have no value. Users should verify them by checking the field status.
The pgcapture.MarshalJSON is a handy json.Marshaler that just ignore those undefined fields.
The provided gateway sub command will start a gateway server with dblog.StaticAgentPulsarResolver which reads a static URI resolving config.
However, it is recommended to implement your own dblog.SourceResolver based on the URI consumer provided,
