Filament is a data replication engine written in Go. It supports full loads, incremental replication, and change data capture (CDC). As data moves through the engine, Filament verifies Arrow batches at the sink handoff and, where the sink supports it, checks the exact serialized payload. You can run Filament as a standalone binary or embed it in a Go application.

Could you build this?

Partial A CLI and config-driven pipeline for full loads and incremental sync is buildable, but correct change data capture across many databases and verified delivery guarantees are deep systems problems.

What it would actually take: Write a Go engine with Arrow-based batch pipelines, source connectors, and sink writers, with checkpointing for incremental replay. The hard part is CDC for each source, which means parsing database WAL/binlog/replication protocols and guaranteeing exactly-once or at-least-once semantics with ordering, requiring database internals expertise and extensive testing.
