Building Event-Driven Systems with PostgreSQL Logical Replication and Drasi | POSETTE 2026
Postgres CDC via the WAL enables event-driven architectures without dual-write risk, demonstrated across wal2json, Drasi, and Debezium/Kafka.
“In Postgres, every INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE is already being recorded in the WAL.”
A Microsoft session at POSETTE 2026 demonstrated three ways to build event-driven systems on Postgres using logical replication and CDC, comparing wal2json, Drasi, and Debezium/Kafka with live latency benchmarks. It is a practical database engineering talk with minimal AI relevance.
