Why teams connect Airtable and CockroachDB
Keep Airtable and CockroachDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.
Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.
Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Airtable and CockroachDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.
Common use cases
- Sync form-submitted records from Airtable into downstream systems like a helpdesk or marketing platform.
- Push CRM accounts and deals into an Airtable base so operations teams can manage pipelines and enrichment without CRM licenses.
- Keep reference data consistent between CockroachDB and regional application databases.
- Consolidate data from several SaaS tools into one distributed SQL store that survives zone failures.
Cross-engine sync
Keep the same dataset live in both Airtable and CockroachDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.
Migration with zero-downtime cutover
When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.
Shared reference data between services
Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.
What you can sync between Airtable and CockroachDB
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.
| Airtable objects | CockroachDB objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Views Filtered subsets of a table that can scope which records a sync reads. | Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. | |
| Linked records Cross-table references that carry relationships between synced tables. | Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. | |
| Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems. | Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. | |
| Collaborators User fields useful for mapping record ownership to accounts in a CRM or database. | Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. | |
| Bases Top-level containers; each base has its own API endpoint and schema. | Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. | |
| Tables Map to sync tables; schema is readable through the base metadata endpoints. | Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. |

How the Airtable and CockroachDB connectors work
Airtable
- Integration surface
- REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints)
- Authentication
- OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks
- Change detection
- Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks); formula fields don't emit change events and are re-synced every hour
- Capabilities
- read · write · CDC · webhooks
- Rate limits
- The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
CockroachDB
- Integration surface
- SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible)
- Authentication
- Database credentials with TLS; client certificates or SCRAM password auth
- Change detection
- CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes; polling as a fallback
- Capabilities
- read · write · CDC
- Rate limits
- No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity

FAQ
Airtable and CockroachDB integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Airtable and CockroachDB: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Airtable's Views and Linked records), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Airtable and CockroachDB: Cross-engine sync; Migration with zero-downtime cutover; Shared reference data between services. Keep the same dataset live in both Airtable and CockroachDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.
-
Airtable: REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints). Authentication: OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks. CockroachDB: SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible). Authentication: Database credentials with TLS; client certificates or SCRAM password auth. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Airtable: Computed field types such as formulas, lookups, and rollups are read-only over the API, so bi-directional syncs must map writes to source fields. CockroachDB: Changefeeds provide native CDC, streaming row-level changes to sinks such as Kafka, cloud storage, or webhook endpoints. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Airtable and CockroachDB without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Airtable and CockroachDB records are not retained after a sync operation.
