Hi, this looks interesting, thanks for sharing. I am the builder of ingestr (https://github.com/bruin-data/ingestr), so I am very much in the same space.

I really like that you did this in Go, and I'll definitely dig a bit more into the source code to see how you tackled the CDC stuff, given that there is not many reliable CDC libraries in Go, and there are quite a few gotchas when it comes to doing CDC right. We also hand-rolled ours in ingestr, or I must say clanker-rolled, and we got quite a few things wrong in the first place.

Curious about the postgres-compatible query option: what's the usecase you have in mind there? My perception is that any org that would use Iceberg also has one or a few query engines in place, is this more for debugging stuff?

Quite cool stuff, keep it up!
