Why teams connect Apache Doris and DuckDB

Connect DuckDB and Apache Doris with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want DuckDB's rows in Apache Doris, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in DuckDB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in DuckDB sync into Apache Doris in real time, and result tables in Apache Doris sync back into DuckDB, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate event and transactional data from multiple sources into one real-time OLAP layer.
  • Land CRM and operational database records in Doris for low-latency dashboards over fresh data.
  • Use DuckDB as a transform step: read synced Parquet exports, aggregate with SQL, and write results back to an operational database.
  • Sync SaaS data to Parquet on object storage and query it with DuckDB without standing up a warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Apache Doris and keep DuckDB focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from DuckDB land in Apache Doris as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between Apache Doris and DuckDB

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 Doris objects DuckDB objects
Materialized Views Precomputed views readable for downstream syncs and BI. External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) Files DuckDB queries in place without loading, common as a sync interchange format.
Users and Roles Principals used to grant the sync connection scoped access. Attached databases Additional database files or external systems attached into one session for cross-source queries.
Databases Logical containers that scope connections and grants. Database files Single-file .duckdb databases that jobs read and write directly on disk or object storage.
Tables Columnar tables in one of Doris's table models, used as sync destinations. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs.
Unique Key Tables Tables supporting primary-key upserts, the natural target for row-level syncs. Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data.
Aggregate Key Tables Tables that pre-aggregate on load, used for metric rollups. Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers.

How the Apache Doris and DuckDB connectors work

Apache Doris

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol for SQL access; HTTP APIs (such as Stream Load) for bulk ingestion
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Polling on partition or timestamp columns for reads; ingestion into Doris is push-based via load jobs
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API quotas; load throughput depends on cluster resources and load-job configuration

DuckDB

Integration surface
In-process SQL engine via client libraries (Python, Node.js, JDBC, CLI); no server or network API by default
Authentication
None built in; access control is file-system level (MotherDuck adds token auth for its hosted service)
Change detection
Polling or full re-reads; no change feed or transaction log API
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by local compute and I/O
