Why teams connect Apache Cassandra and Zendesk

Mirror Zendesk's data into Apache Cassandra so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Zendesk through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Apache Cassandra.

Stacksync mirrors Organizations, Attachments, Ticket Forms, Tickets from Zendesk into Secondary Indexes, User-Defined Types, Collections, Counters in Apache Cassandra and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Zendesk, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data onto Zendesk organizations and ticket fields so agents see context in the ticket.
  • Keep Zendesk users and organizations aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • 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.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Zendesk arrive as row changes in Apache Cassandra, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Zendesk with a query

Records from Zendesk are ordinary rows in Apache Cassandra; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Apache Cassandra and Zendesk

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 Zendesk objects
User-Defined Types Composite column types that syncs must flatten or map to structured fields. Users End users and agents; matched to CRM contacts to keep requester data consistent.
Collections List, set, and map columns handled with type-aware field mapping. Organizations Company groupings for users; typically kept aligned with CRM accounts.
Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs. Attachments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Keyspaces Top-level namespaces with replication settings that scope a sync connection. Ticket Forms Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Tables Wide-column tables addressed by partition key, the unit of row-level sync. Tickets The central work object; synced to databases for SLA and volume reporting or mirrored into engineering tools.
Partitions and Rows Records located by partition and clustering keys during reads and upserts. Tickets Comments Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
