What Scenario Should You Use CDC for?

Sometime in 2019, Netflix cracked a conundrum that stumped them for years. The company had so much data about its content and subscribers, it had to sync multiple heterogeneous data stores like MySQL and Elasticsearch continuously, which brought seriously stressful challenges like dual writes and distributed transactions.
