SQL Server to Kafka CDC is really, really fast
BryteFlow Ingest delivers large volumes of SQL Server data to BigQuery in real-time using log-based Change Data Capture or Change Tracking. BryteFlow has very high throughput, replicating a million rows in 30 seconds approx.

Populating the Schema Registry
An feature that is very convenient for users is the automatic population of the Schema Registry with zero coding, making the overall process much faster. Since Kafka moves data only in byte format, the Schema Registry has to provide the schema to producers and consumers by storing a schema copy in its cache.

SQL Server Kafka replication does not require DBA time
BryteFlow provides ‘Set and Forget’ replication to Kafka. Your DBA dos not need to get involved at all whether it is managing backups, configuring full backups or managing dependencies until the changes have been processed, which means the TCO of the solution is significantly lower. Also no sysadmin privileges for the replication user are required.
How BryteFlow works

About Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server is a software that is a relational database management system owned by Microsoft. It’s primary objective is to store data and then retrieve it when other applications request it.

The SQL Server is a database server that implements SQL (Structured Query Language) and there are many versions of SQL Server, engineered for different workloads and demands.
About Apache Kafka
Apache Kafka is a distributed messaging platform created to manage real-time data ingestion and processing of streaming data. Kafka builds real-time streaming data pipelines and real-time streaming applications. Kafka servers or brokers consume and process high volumes of streaming records from millions of events per day combining queuing and publish-subscribe messaging models for distributed data processing. This allows data processing to be carried out across multiple consumer instances and enables every subscriber to receive every message. More on Apache Kafka
