Posted on: Jul 8, 2026

Amazon Aurora DSQL change data capture (CDC) is now generally available, enabling you to stream real-time database changes to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams for event-driven architectures and data integration workflows.

Aurora DSQL CDC automatically captures the results of insert, update, and delete operations as change events and delivers them to Kinesis Data Streams with no infrastructure to manage. You can use CDC to synchronize data across microservices, trigger AWS Lambda functions, or deliver changes to Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon OpenSearch Service via Amazon Data Firehose. CDC streaming is designed to have zero impact on your database workload performance.

CDC streaming is available in all AWS Regions where Aurora DSQL is available. Get started with Aurora DSQL for free with the AWS Free Tier. To learn more about CDC in Aurora DSQL, visit the documentation page.
