+### CDC Replication Sink (NEW)
+
+Full **Change Data Capture** replication from PostgreSQL to Iceberg v2 tables using [iceberg-go](https://github.com/apache/iceberg-go) — entirely in Go, no JVM required.
+
+**What works:**
+- INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE replication via Iceberg v2 equality deletes (merge-on-read)
+- Snapshot + incremental replication (WAL-based CDC)
+- Automatic table creation with schema inference from source
+- PK-based row deduplication within commit batches
+- Time-based flush with configurable commit interval
+
+**Benchmark results** (Apple M1 Pro, local MinIO + REST catalog):
+
+| Profile | Duration | Rows | Avg Rate | Lag | Data Loss |
+|---------|----------|------|----------|-----|-----------|
+| InsertOnly (1K→10K ramp) | 5 min | 1.35M | 4,500 rows/s | ~3s | 0 |
+
+**Key numbers:**
+- **6,400 rows/sec** peak write throughput
+- **3 second** steady-state replication lag
+- **Zero data loss** — Iceberg row count matches PG row count exactly after drain
+
+For details, see [benchmark README](tests/bench/README.md) and [equality delete performance analysis](doc/equality-delete-performance.md).

+# Demo: PostgreSQL CDC to Iceberg v2
+
+Real-time Change Data Capture replication from PostgreSQL to Apache Iceberg v2 tables — entirely in Go, no JVM.
+
+INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations are captured from the PostgreSQL WAL and written to Iceberg using v2 equality deletes (merge-on-read).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker / Docker Compose
+- Go 1.23+
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Start infrastructure
+
+```bash
+cd demo
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+This starts:
+- **PostgreSQL** (port 5432) — source database with WAL-level replication
+- **MinIO** (ports 9000/9001) — S3-compatible storage for Iceberg data files
+- **Iceberg REST Catalog** (port 8181) — Iceberg table metadata
+
+### 2. Seed the source database
+
+```bash
+psql "host=localhost port=5432 user=postgres password=postgres dbname=demo" -f seed.sql
+```
+
+### 3. Build and start replication
+
+```bash
+# From the repo root
+make build
+./binaries/trcli activate --transfer demo/transfer.yaml --log-level info
+```
+
+The transfer will:
+1. **Snapshot** the existing `orders` table into Iceberg
+2. **Switch to CDC** — streaming WAL changes in real-time
+
+### 4. Generate changes
+
+**Option A: Load generator** (recommended) — runs a mix of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE at a steady rate:
+
+```bash
+# Default: 10 ops/sec for 60s (60% insert, 30% update, 10% delete)
+./demo/loadgen.sh
+
+# Crank it up
+./demo/loadgen.sh --rate 50 --duration 120
+
+# Heavy update/delete workload (watch equality deletes accumulate in MinIO)
+./demo/loadgen.sh --rate 20 --insert 30 --update 40
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+=== CDC Load Generator ===
+Rate:     10 ops/sec
+Duration: 60s (~600 ops)
+Mix:      60% insert / 30% update / 10% delete
+==========================
+[10s] ops: 100/600 (I:62 U:28 D:10 E:0) PG rows: 153
+[20s] ops: 200/600 (I:121 U:57 D:22 E:0) PG rows: 200
+...
+```
+
+**Option B: Ad-hoc SQL** — run individual statements:
+
+```bash
+psql "host=localhost port=5432 user=postgres password=postgres dbname=demo"
+
+INSERT INTO orders (customer, product, quantity, price) VALUES ('zara', 'widget-z', 1, 9.99);
+UPDATE orders SET status = 'delivered' WHERE customer = 'zara';
+DELETE FROM orders WHERE customer = 'frank';
+```
+
+**Option C: Scripted workload** — a fixed set of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE:
+
+```bash
+psql "host=localhost port=5432 user=postgres password=postgres dbname=demo" -f demo/workload.sql
+```
+
+### 5. Observe
+
+**MinIO Console** — browse the Iceberg data and delete files:
+```
+http://localhost:9001
+Login: admin / password
+Bucket: warehouse → public/orders/
+```
+
+You'll see:
+- `data/` — Parquet data files (from INSERTs and snapshot)
+- `data/` — Equality delete files (from UPDATEs and DELETEs, also Parquet, containing just the PK values)
+- `metadata/` — Iceberg table metadata, manifests, and snapshots
+
+**REST Catalog** — check table exists:
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:8181/v1/namespaces/public/tables | jq .
+```
+
+### 6. Cleanup
+
+```bash
+docker compose down -v
+```
+

+                      RowDelta Commit
+                    (atomic transaction)
+```
+
+- **INSERT** → appended as a new data row
+- **UPDATE** → equality delete (old PK) + new data row (new values), committed atomically via RowDelta
+- **DELETE** → equality delete file containing the deleted PK
+
+All mutations within a commit interval (default 5s) are batched and deduplicated by PK before writing.
+
+## Performance
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Peak throughput | 6,400 rows/sec |
+| Avg throughput | 4,500 rows/sec |
+| Replication lag | ~3 seconds |
+| Data loss | 0 (exact row count match) |
+
+Measured with 1.35M rows over 5 minutes. See [benchmark results](../tests/bench/README.md).
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Equality delete read overhead** — scan performance degrades as delete files accumulate (124x slower after 10K DML ops). Requires periodic compaction. See [performance analysis](../doc/equality-delete-performance.md) and [compaction research](../doc/compaction-research.md).
+
+2. **No built-in compaction** — iceberg-go doesn't have an `Optimize` API yet. Workaround: use Spark `CALL system.rewrite_data_files()` or the full-table scan+rewrite approach described in [compaction research](../doc/compaction-research.md).
+
+3. **Single-writer** — concurrent replication workers writing to the same table will hit `CommitFailedException`. The sink invalidates the table cache on failure and retries, but throughput drops.
+
+4. **No schema evolution** — if the source schema changes, the Iceberg table schema is not updated automatically. The table must be recreated.
+
+5. **Append-only without PK** — tables without a primary key are treated as append-only. UPDATEs and DELETEs are dropped since equality deletes require a PK.
