Skip backfill per table
Tables can set skipBackfill: true to bypass the initial snapshot and go straight to streaming CDC, in the dashboard and the Terraform provider.
For tables where historical data is already loaded externally, forcing an initial snapshot wastes time and compute.
Tables can now be configured with skipBackfill: true to bypass the initial snapshot and go straight to streaming CDC. This is available in both the dashboard UI (under advanced table settings) and the Terraform provider.
Why this matters
- Skip unnecessary snapshots when history is already in place
- Speed up onboarding for tables that only need ongoing CDC
- Consistent control through both the dashboard and Terraform
