Run your first pipeline¶
Seed the demo database, create the platform resources, and watch change events land in Kafka. This is the point of everything above it.

This page is a skeleton.
Seed the source database¶
The repository ships an e-commerce schema with customers, orders and products, for both PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Seeding is idempotent and can be re-run.
Create the platform resources¶
A scenario creates, in order, the four objects the Debezium Platform needs:
| Object | What it is |
|---|---|
| Connection | Credentials and address of the source database |
| Source | What to capture from that connection |
| Destination | Where change events are written — here, Kafka |
| Pipeline | Binds a source to a destination, optionally through transforms |
Every object is created only if an object with the same deterministic name does not already exist, so re-running a scenario converges rather than duplicating.
Watch it work¶
Change a row in the source database and observe the corresponding event on the Kafka topic. The platform UI shows the same pipeline and its status.
