Why teams connect Anaplan and Google Cloud Spanner

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from Google Cloud Spanner: 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 Line Items, Lists, List Items, Versions from Anaplan into Views, Databases, Tables, Rows in Google Cloud Spanner and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Google Cloud Spanner, 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

  • Sync CRM pipeline data into Anaplan for sales capacity and quota planning.
  • Push approved plan and target numbers from Anaplan back to the CRM or compensation systems.
  • Use change streams to feed near-real-time copies of operational tables into an analytics warehouse.
  • Run a two-way sync between Spanner and a SaaS tool so edits made by ops teams land back in the application database.

React to financial events

Changes in Anaplan appear in Google Cloud Spanner as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Anaplan live in Google Cloud Spanner 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 Google Cloud Spanner; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Anaplan.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Google Cloud Spanner

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 Google Cloud Spanner objects
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Databases Top-level containers that scope schema and sync configuration.
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records.
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Secondary indexes Used to make incremental read queries efficient on non-key columns.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture.

How the Anaplan and Google Cloud Spanner 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

Google Cloud Spanner

Integration surface
gRPC/REST client API with SQL query surface (GoogleSQL and PostgreSQL-interface dialects)
Authentication
Google Cloud IAM (service accounts)
Change detection
Change streams (log-style CDC), or timestamp-based polling queries
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is bounded by the instance's provisioned compute capacity rather than a fixed API quota.
