FCA’s backbone is a number of interconnected conveyor belts, which move products and groceries around the facility. The connector publishes each change of a set of tables in Postgres to topics in Kafka. In our case, the consumer will be the Debezium Kafka Connect source connector, which consumes events from said replication slot.
