DMS -> S3 (CDC & Full) to SCD2 with DBT?

Post Body

holy acronyms, batman!

AWS DMS spits out "full" extract files to s3, as well as change data capture (CDC) files (usually different paths)

The CDC files look like this:

op,id,name,ts
I,33,jim,timestamp
U,44,frank,timestamp
D,55,bob,timestamp

where I = insert, U = update, D = delete

Questions:

  1. is there a name for the above file format? (to ease searching)
  2. how do I get from full cdc file to an SCD2 table with DBT?

Do I combine "full" and "cdc" to get "current state", and then snapshot "current state" against the SCD2 table?

Or is there some query magic I'm not figuring out?

Thanks
