Why teams connect Affinity and Apache Kylin

Flow Apache Kylin data into Affinity in real time — no exports, no schedulers, no custom scripts.

Apache Kylin is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Affinity, so Affinity always reflects the current state of Apache Kylin — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

The CRM feeds the warehouse and the warehouse should feed the CRM: relationship data flows one way, and computed scores, segments, and customer context flow back. Most teams build the first half as a batch pipeline and never quite get to the second.

Stacksync does both with one connection. Persons, Organizations, Opportunities, Field Values from Affinity land in Apache Kylin as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in Apache Kylin write back to fields in Affinity. There is no separate ETL and reverse-ETL stack to stitch together and no jobs to babysit.

Common use cases

  • Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
  • Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.
  • Read pre-aggregated metrics from Kylin and sync them into CRM fields or planning spreadsheets on a schedule.
  • Expose Kylin query results to operational dashboards without granting access to the underlying Hadoop data.

A single customer view

Join Affinity's relationship data with billing, product, and support data in Apache Kylin to build the customer picture the CRM alone cannot hold.

Cleanup that sticks

Deduplication and normalization done in Apache Kylin can be written back, so warehouse-side cleanup actually fixes the CRM.

CRM analytics on live data

Accounts, contacts, and activity from Affinity are queryable in Apache Kylin moments after they change, so dashboards stop lagging the reality they describe.

What you can sync between Affinity and Apache Kylin

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Affinity objects Apache Kylin objects
Lists Pipelines (deal flow, fundraising, portfolio) that structure most Affinity data; syncs usually target a specific list. Models Star-schema definitions over source tables that determine what can be queried.
List Entries The membership of a person, organization, or opportunity on a list, carrying its list-specific fields. Cubes / Indexes Pre-computed aggregate structures that answer queries at low latency.
Persons Contact records enriched with relationship intelligence, synced with CRMs and outreach tools. Source Tables Hive or other upstream tables that builds read from.
Organizations Company records matched to accounts in other systems by domain. Segments Time-ranged build units that partition pre-computed data.
Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. Build Jobs Batch jobs that compute or refresh segments, monitored via the REST API.
Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. Projects Top-level workspaces that group models, tables, and jobs.
