Would you not be able to solve this by having a messaging queue and getting the database to publish it’s updates?

Curious what products you’ve seen as well.

A message queue is a database too.

So the question is: Why have two copies of your data, two products to learn and monitor and operate, write boilerplate to move data between the DBs, etc.?

A "message queue" comes down to being another index on your table/set of tables ordered by a post-commit sequence number. These are things all SQL DBs have already, it just lacks a bit of exposing/packaging to be as convenient to use as a messaging queue.
