It’s common in microservices to write data in two places, a database and send the content to another microservice. One approach to tackle this problem is dual writes, but you may lose data because of concurrent writes. Debezium is an open-source project for change data capture using the log scanner approach to avoid dual writes and communicate persisted data correctly between services.
