If you’ve ever synced data across systems, you know timezones can turn a straightforward task into a mess. A simple timestamp can spiral into confusion, data mismatches, and broken business logic if mishandled. Picture this: an event logged at 10:00 AM in New York ends up as 11:00 PM in Shanghai—half a day off—because of sloppy timezone handling. These issues don’t just annoy; they can derail reports, schedules, and user trust.

Debezium is an open-source CDC (Change Data Capture) tool that streams database changes in real-time to Kafka, where data can be further processed or synchronized with various databases like MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, StarRocks, and more through Sink Connectors.

Using a MySQL -> Kafka -> StarRocks pipeline as an example, this guide demonstrates how Debezium enables efficient and stable data synchronization across systems.
