Yes, that's right, here at Box, we were able to successfully create a Change Data Capture stream on top of Statement-based Replication. Although normally impossible, some quirks in our data access layer coupled with some unique usages of MySQL query comments, PGTID and Kafka have enabled us to successfully provide an at-least-once delivery event stream of changes in our sharded MySQL infrastructure. The sharded MySQL infrastructure lies at the heart of Box.com, made up of 100s of shards, 1000s of servers and billions of records. In this talk, I will take you through the implementation details as well as the challenges involved in building out our change stream.
