Why teams connect Anaplan and TimescaleDB

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from TimescaleDB: 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 Regular PostgreSQL Tables, Views, Schemas, Hypertables in TimescaleDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against TimescaleDB, 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.
  • Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.
  • Consolidate metrics from several services into one hypertable to serve a single reporting layer.

Query finance data like any other data

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

Write back safely

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

What you can sync between Anaplan and TimescaleDB

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 TimescaleDB objects
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment.
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs.
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly.
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Anaplan or TimescaleDB record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your Anaplan ⇄ TimescaleDB sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Anaplan and TimescaleDB.

How the Anaplan and TimescaleDB 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

TimescaleDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must be remapped to the parent — or timestamp-based polling on time columns; regular Postgres tables replicate through standard logical replication
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.
