  5-Minute Quick Start), github.com/synthesized-io/tdk-install and tdk-gha.
  The TDK is a configuration-driven runner (YAML user_config + JDBC source/target)
  delivered as a container image / GitHub Action rather than a rich subcommand CLI;
  only capabilities the docs publish are recorded here.

config:
  note: >-
    Behaviour is driven by a YAML user_config (default_config.mode,
    schema_creation_mode such as DROP_AND_CREATE) plus JDBC input_url/output_url
    connections and credentials. Same config runs under Docker, Helm, and the
    tdk-gha GitHub Action.
