No New Broker
Reads from MySQL, Postgres, or an existing Kafka/Redpanda topic and writes straight to the destination — no new broker or relay to stand up.
Upsert Reflects State
UPDATE/DELETE changes the row in the destination. No appended duplicates, no tombstone sprawl.
No JVM Sidecar
Writes natively from the same Go binary that reads the log — standalone in one process, or coordinator+worker distributed via the operator. No JAR, no gRPC hop to a second runtime.
