Canal is an open-source project developed by Alibaba that simulates MySQL slave functionality to parse MySQL binlog files. It enables real-time data synchronization and change data capture (CDC) between MySQL and other systems such as Elasticsearch, Kafka, or HBase. Canal is widely used for data integration, replication, and monitoring across distributed systems, offering high performance and low-latency log parsing.
Features
- Parses MySQL binlogs in real-time
- Simulates MySQL slave for non-intrusive data capture
- Supports integration with Kafka, RocketMQ, and Elasticsearch
- Enables change data capture for downstream systems
- High throughput and low latency performance
- Suitable for database synchronization and auditing
