-### Changelog Source
+### CDC Changelog Source
+
+Flink natively supports Kafka as a CDC changelog source. If messages in Kafka
topic is change event captured from other databases using CDC tools, then you
can use a CDC format to interpret messages as INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE messages
into Flink SQL system.
+
+Flink provides three CDC formats: [debezium-json]({% link
dev/table/connectors/formats/debezium.md %}), [canal-json]({% link
dev/table/connectors/formats/canal.md %}) and [maxwell-json]({% link
dev/table/connectors/formats/maxwell.md %}) to interpret change events captured
by [Debezium](https://debezium.io/),
[Canal](https://github.com/alibaba/canal/wiki) and
[Maxwell](https://maxwells-daemon.io/).
Review comment:
Since this list is getting longer why don't we make it an actual list.
```
Flink provides several CDC formats:
* [debezium-json]()
* [canal-json]()
* others
```
That way its easier to expand this as we add more formats in the future.
