You can setup your CDC process such that it will create and evolve the tables for you, e.g. by using jdbc connector. So the moment your OLTP database schema changes, it gets picked up by the CDC process and it will propagate it to your OLAP database. If you want to have more control over schema evolution, you can also do it in dbt using dbt-external-tables package.

CDC Implementation
We keep track of the schema in git using dbt-external-tables. If a new column is added upstream, whoever made the change is responsible for updating the schema in dbt. It's just a few lines of code. Once PR is merged, the external table that reads the S3 files is refreshed. We never remove columns.

In addition to the built-in seed command you can also install this package called dbt-external-tables which will automate the creation of pointers/views to external data sources living on S3/GCS/Azure Blob Storage for several data warehouses. Then you can simply select from these external sources when building your models.
