Ask HN: Do you use CDC for database accidental mistakes?

[vira28]

I see a lot of benefits of CDC, but can it also be used for database OOPS recovery? (i.e. accidental delete or update) I don't see that being mentioned in https://debezium.io/documentation/faq/#what_are_some_uses_of_debezium or other places. Any challenges in using it for that purpose?

For those scratching their head on some of the acronyms/terms used:

  - CDC => Change Data Capture

  - Oops recovery (a colloquial term) => Fixing consequences of accidental changes
