Managed replication layers handle schema evolution and deduplication that custom pipelines cannot.

Safe schema evolution requires adding nullable columns before enforcing constraints downstream.

A managed service handles the orchestration that five separate CDC streams would otherwise require.

Type changes in replication pipelines risk silent data corruption across three layers.

Production CDC pipelines need coordination across three layers to truly deliver exactly once.

CDC writes demand different partitioning and clustering strategies than batch loads.

How multiple database sources create coordination headaches when converging into one warehouse.
