Why teams connect Apache Druid and Google Sheets

Get the data locked inside Google Sheets into Apache Druid as live tables, and send results back where Google Sheets can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Google Sheets is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Cell values, Spreadsheets, Sheets (tabs), Rows from Google Sheets into tables in Apache Druid continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Apache Druid can also be written back into fields in Google Sheets where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • Reconcile finance or billing exports against system-of-record data in one collaborative surface.
  • Prototype an integration by syncing a sheet before committing to a database schema.
  • Feed operational records into Druid via batch ingestion so analysts get interactive slice-and-dice on fresh data.
  • Sync Druid query results into a warehouse to combine real-time aggregates with historical models.

Analytics on Google Sheets's data

Records and events from Google Sheets land in Apache Druid as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Google Sheets's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Google Sheets accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Apache Druid sync back onto records in Google Sheets, putting analysis where the work happens.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Google Sheets

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 Druid objects Google Sheets objects
Dimensions String and categorical columns used for filtering and grouping in synced queries. Cell values Untyped by default, so syncs handle type coercion for dates and numbers.
Metrics Numeric columns, often pre-aggregated at ingestion via rollup. Spreadsheets The file-level container a sync connects to, identified by spreadsheet ID.
Ingestion Supervisors Long-running specs that pull from streams like Kafka; the write path into Druid. Sheets (tabs) Individual worksheets, typically mapped one-to-one to a synced table.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Rows Treated as records; a header row usually defines field names.
Tasks Batch ingestion and compaction jobs monitored during data loads. Ranges Addressed in A1 notation for batched reads and writes.
Datasources The table-like unit of storage and querying, the main target of reads and ingestion. Named ranges Stable references that keep sync mappings valid when the grid moves.

How the Apache Druid and Google Sheets connectors work

Apache Druid

Integration surface
REST API (SQL over HTTP and native JSON queries); JDBC via Avatica
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: basic authentication or an authenticator extension; often fronted by a proxy
Change detection
Not applicable for reads out (polling by time interval); data enters Druid through streaming or batch ingestion rather than row updates
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query concurrency is bounded by broker and historical node capacity

Google Sheets

Integration surface
REST API (Google Sheets API), with file-level change signals available through the Drive API
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 (user consent) or Google service accounts
Change detection
Polling; the Sheets API has no cell-level webhooks, and Drive push notifications only signal file-level changes
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to per-minute read and write quotas per project and per user, so large syncs are batched.
