Why teams connect Anaplan and Databricks

Land the financial records from Anaplan in Databricks continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Models, Modules, Line Items, Lists from Anaplan into tables in Databricks in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Databricks can be written back to fields in Anaplan where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • Export forecast versions to a warehouse for variance reporting against actuals.
  • Load actuals from an ERP or warehouse into Anaplan modules so forecasts start from current financials.
  • Serve ML feature outputs computed in Databricks to production apps through a synced operational store.
  • Land CRM and ERP records in Delta tables continuously so lakehouse models work from current operational data.

Write-back of computed fields

Scores or segments computed in Databricks, like payment-risk flags or customer tiers, sync back onto records in Anaplan where the finance team can act on them.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in Databricks gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Anaplan arrive in Databricks as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Databricks

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 Databricks objects
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. SQL Warehouses The compute endpoint a sync connects to for query execution.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Change Data Feed Row-level change records on Delta tables that drive incremental reads.
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Catalogs Top level of the Unity Catalog namespace, scoping which schemas a sync can address.
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Schemas Group tables and views; syncs typically target a dedicated schema per source system.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Delta Tables The primary read and write target; operational data lands here as managed or external tables.
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Views Curated read-only projections used as sync sources for downstream tools.

How the Anaplan and Databricks 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

Databricks

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC via SQL warehouses, plus a REST API including statement execution
Authentication
Personal access tokens or OAuth machine-to-machine credentials for service principals
Change detection
Delta Lake Change Data Feed for row-level changes; otherwise incremental polling on watermark columns
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput depends on the SQL warehouse size; API calls are subject to workspace rate limits
