Accelerating Change Data Capture with apply changes in Delta Live Tables (DLT): Simplifying SCD Type 1 & 2 Implementation

Accelerating Change Data Capture with apply changes in Delta Live Tables (DLT)

Introduction: Change Data Capture (CDC) is a crucial component of modern data engineering, enabling efficient tracking and processing of data changes from source systems. Traditionally, implementing CDC required complex and error-prone merge logic. With Delta Live Tables (DLT) in Databricks, CDC can now be implemented in a declarative, scalable, and reliable manner using the apply_changes […]
