How the paths work
Pick the track closest to your job and follow its lessons in order. Every track holds to the same thesis: delivery is at-least-once, so correctness lives in an idempotent sink keyed on the primary key and ordered by source log position (LSN, SCN or GTID), and no end-to-end exactly-once is claimed.
Lessons you open or mark complete are remembered in this browser only. The list below works without JavaScript; with it, finished steps are labelled. The text on this site is AI-assisted. See the methodology for how claims are checked. Prefer to browse freely? Use the series overview.
