An idiomatic C++ client library for theDatastream API, a serverless and easy-to-use change data capture (CDC) and replication service. It allows you to synchronize data across heterogeneous databases and applications reliably, and with minimal latency and downtime.
While this library isGA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries donotfollowSemantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/cloud/datastream/quickstart/directory, which should give you a taste of the Datastream API C++ client library API.
The main class in this library isdatastream_v1::DatastreamClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mockdatastream_v1::DatastreamClientwhen testing your application.
