Why teams connect Apache Cassandra and MariaDB

Keep Apache Cassandra and MariaDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Apache Cassandra and MariaDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Feed Cassandra change streams into search indexes or caches that must track the source of truth.
  • Consolidate data from multiple keyspaces or clusters into one reporting store.
  • Two-way sync between a MariaDB application database and a CRM so both systems hold the same customer records
  • Replicate ERP or billing master data into MariaDB databases that power customer-facing applications

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Apache Cassandra and MariaDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

What you can sync between Apache Cassandra and MariaDB

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.

Apache Cassandra objects MariaDB objects
Partitions and Rows Records located by partition and clustering keys during reads and upserts. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems.
Materialized Views Server-maintained denormalized views; considered experimental and disabled by default in recent releases. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources.
Secondary Indexes Optional indexes that allow filtered reads outside the partition key. Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values.
User-Defined Types Composite column types that syncs must flatten or map to structured fields. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts.
Collections List, set, and map columns handled with type-aware field mapping. System-Versioned Tables Temporal tables that retain row history natively, useful for auditing synced changes.
Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs. JSON Columns Semi-structured payloads validated with JSON functions.

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Apache Cassandra and MariaDB.

How the Apache Cassandra and MariaDB connectors work

Apache Cassandra

Integration surface
CQL over the Cassandra native binary protocol
Authentication
Database credentials (password authenticator); TLS and role-based grants where configured
Change detection
Commit-log based CDC on tables with CDC enabled, or polling using writetime metadata and timestamp columns
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API quotas; throughput is governed by cluster capacity and consistency-level choices

MariaDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (MySQL-compatible client/server protocol)
Authentication
Database credentials (connection string or parameters), with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + host)
Change detection
Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing
Capabilities

How it works

How to connect Apache Cassandra to MariaDB — three steps, no code

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate Apache Cassandra and MariaDB with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
