Why teams connect Anaplan and Azure Cosmos DB

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from Azure Cosmos DB: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Lists, List Items, Versions, Import and Export Actions from Anaplan into Partition keys, Change feed entries, Stored procedures and triggers, Databases in Azure Cosmos DB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Azure Cosmos DB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Anaplan with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • Export forecast versions to a warehouse for variance reporting against actuals.
  • Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.
  • Stream operational documents from Cosmos DB into a SQL warehouse via the change feed for analytics without hitting request-unit budgets with full scans.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Anaplan live in Azure Cosmos DB as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Azure Cosmos DB; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Anaplan.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Azure Cosmos DB propagate into Anaplan, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Azure Cosmos DB

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.

Anaplan objects Azure Cosmos DB objects
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation.
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning.
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed.
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly.

How the Anaplan and Azure Cosmos DB connectors work

Anaplan

Integration surface
REST APIs: a Bulk API that runs predefined import/export actions and a transactional API for model metadata and cell data
Authentication
Token-based sessions obtained via basic authentication, CA certificates, or OAuth 2.0 through Anaplan's authentication service
Change detection
Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions

Azure Cosmos DB

Integration surface
REST API and SDKs over HTTPS (API for NoSQL, formerly the SQL API); also MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin, and Table API surfaces
Authentication
Account keys, resource tokens, or Microsoft Entra ID role-based access
Change detection
Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range
Capabilities
