Why teams connect Anaplan and TiDB

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from TiDB: 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 Databases, Tables, Views, Columns in TiDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against TiDB, 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.
  • Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics

React to financial events

Changes in Anaplan appear in TiDB 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 TiDB 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 TiDB; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Anaplan.

What you can sync between Anaplan and TiDB

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 TiDB objects
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client.
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward.
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system.
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows.

How the Anaplan and TiDB 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

TiDB

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol (SQL)
Authentication
Database credentials (MySQL-compatible username/password)
Change detection
Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks; polling also works
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas
