# Debezium PostgreSQL Source Connector

Debezium PostgreSQL Source Connector allows you to capture any changes on your
PostgreSQL DB and store them as messages on your Kafka topics. In this guide, we
will walk you through creating Debezium PostgreSQL Source Connector.

## Get Started

### Create a Kafka Cluster

<Info>
  If you do not have a Kafka cluster and/or topic already, follow [these
  steps](../overall/getstarted) to create one.
</Info>

### Create the Connector

Go to the Connectors tab, and create your first connector by clicking the **New
Connector** button.

The advanced screen is for any other configuration that the selected connector
supports. At the top of this screen, you can find a link to related
documentation. We can proceed with what we have and click the **Connect** button
directly.

Congratulations! You have created a Debezium PostgreSQL Source Connector. As you
put data into your PostgreSQL DB, you will see that related topics will be
created and populated with new data.

You can go to **Messages** section to see latest events as they are coming from
Kafka.
