Thanks a lot for mentioning Debezium. Agreed that a CDC-based approach will be simpler to implement and reason about than ES in many cases. Semantics are different a bit of course (e.g. ES events capturing "intend"); we had a post discussing the two things a while ago on the blog [1]. Speaking of capturing intend, we just added support for Postgres's pg_logical_emit_message() function in today's release of Debezium 1.8.0.Beta1 [2].
