Our latest CockroachDB Feature of the Week, core changefeeds, is an exciting new way for event-driven apps to consume data from CockroachDB. With the CHANGEFEED FOR statement, a SQL client can tell the database to monitor a table and tell it when writes take place. CockroachDB will then hold the connection open until the client closes it and stream records to the client for all writes. You can use changefeeds to build event-driven applications, perform data integration, and do all kinds of other tasks that depend on watching the state of a table.

Update 3/4/19: This feature is out of beta! Want to learn more? Check out our webinar on migrating MySQL data to CockroachDB. We want to make it easy for users of existing database systems to get started with CockroachDB. To that end, we’re proud to announce that CockroachDB now has beta-level support for importing MySQL database dump files: you can now import your data from the most popular open-source database to our modern, globally-distributed SQL database with a single command.
