Why is there such a need? Can’t you use TiCDC for real-time synchronization?

The downstream data sources for TiCDC are relatively few. If I want to connect to more data sources, I can only get its change log, and the company says that I cannot get the logs through Kafka. So I am wondering if I can directly get the data change logs from TiKV’s raft log.

The cost of operating this way is a bit high, and any issues that arise later may not be resolved in a timely manner. It is still recommended to use TiDB - Kafka.

Due to company reasons, Kafka cannot be used. Are there any other alternatives?
