All these tools built on Postgres CDC have tutorials that are based on a single table. But in real life, your data models are likely to be normalized across multiple tables with joins. Or you might have an aggregate object that contains multiple child objects from another table.

The hard part of using streaming data as the data source is that you don't have a mechanism to go back and get the data that you missed. Either for some join across normalised tables or to fetch some child objects you've not seen yet.

I don't see how any reasonably complicated data model would work here.
