CES scans the SQL transaction log and streams committed changes as CloudEvents to Azure Event Hubs or Fabric Event Streams using AMQP or Kafka-compatible protocols. Unlike CDC, it avoids double-writes and removes the need for consumers to poll SQL directly. Key use cases include augmenting monolithic apps with microservices, near real-time analytics, and cross-system data synchronization. A demo shows a microservice reacting to a purchase event in near real-time. Important gotchas: streaming errors prevent transaction log truncation causing log growth, and undersized Event Hubs destinations will throttle SQL and waste retries. CES is compared to mirroring (simpler but single-destination) and transactional replication (still preferred for SQL-to-SQL). ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
