What you'll learn

Operational databases often contain changes that other systems need quickly; new orders, inventory updates, customer changes, audit events, or downstream analytics triggers. Traditional approaches such as polling, scheduled ETL, and custom synchronization can still be useful, but they often introduce latency, increase database load, and create tight coupling between the database and its consumers. In this course, Stream Data Changes with SQL Server 2025 Change Event Streaming, you'll learn how to design and operate change streaming pipelines from SQL Server 2025 to Azure Event Hubs with a practical, production-aware mindset.

First, you'll learn how to evaluate when Change Event Streaming is the right fit and how to define the table scope, event contract, and success metrics. Next, you'll configure SQL Server 2025 Change Event Streaming, create an event stream group, add tables, and validate that changes are delivered to Azure Event Hubs. Finally, you'll learn how to monitor, troubleshoot, roll out, and roll back streaming workflows safely under production load. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and judgment needed to use SQL Server 2025 Change Event Streaming as part of a reliable event-driven data architecture — not only in a demo, but in real operational environments.
