benthos and marmot seems like a bit of a good marriage

[gedw99]

because marmot is a CDC based pattern, it would probably be a pretty good match with benthos.

benthos already is used in CDC patterns with cockroach for example.

so the idea is that a change to the DB gets sent to benthos, and then benthos can react.

Benthos has a NATS source / sink btw.

Here is a simple example: https://github.com/davidandradeduarte/benthos-nats-jetstream-output-loop-bug

Another cool example: https://github.com/amirhnajafiz/jetstream-mirroring/

The use cases people would use this for a huge IMHO.
Maybe you want to initiate certain logic or secondary data transform to update your business analytics db or whatever you want.

Very well aware of Benthos and I love Benthos! I will be more than happy accepting contributions on any demo videos, blog posts, or contributions.

Great - it will be a while before I get to this.

glad you see the synergy
