Data Pipelines Are Live: Stream PostgreSQL Into Kafka With One API Call
Most managed database products rent you a box. You provision a Postgres, you provision a Kafka, and then the interesting part, the part where data actually flows from one to the other, is handed back to you with a shrug. You stand up Kafka Connect, you hunt for the right Debezium build, you hand-edit pg_hba.conf, you grant REPLICATION, you author a publication, you guess at a slot name, and you pray the two services can even reach each other on the network. That is a runbook, not a product. And until today, it was yours to own.
Not anymore. FoundryDB data pipelines are live. The connection between two services you already own is now a first-class resource you can create, watch, and tear down with a single call. The first pipeline type ships today: change data capture from a PostgreSQL source straight into a Kafka sink. One POST, and the platform does all the plumbing, end to end, idempotently, with nothing exposed to the public internet to make it happen.
