Why teams connect Apache Druid and Neo4j

Connect Neo4j and Apache Druid 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 Neo4j's rows in Apache Druid, 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 Neo4j where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in Neo4j sync into Apache Druid in real time, and result tables in Apache Druid sync back into Neo4j, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 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.
  • Write computed relationship scores (fraud, influence, similarity) back to operational systems.
  • Keep a customer-360 graph continuously updated from ERP, CRM, and support sources.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Apache Druid and keep Neo4j focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from Neo4j land in Apache Druid as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Apache Druid sync into Neo4j, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and Neo4j

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 Neo4j objects
Ingestion Supervisors Long-running specs that pull from streams like Kafka; the write path into Druid. Databases Named databases in a single instance that scope multi-tenant or multi-domain syncs.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Users & Roles Security principals controlling what an integration credential can query or modify.
Tasks Batch ingestion and compaction jobs monitored during data loads. Nodes Entity records (customers, products, accounts) written from source systems as labeled nodes.
Datasources The table-like unit of storage and querying, the main target of reads and ingestion. Relationships Typed, directed edges that carry the connections syncs exist to model.
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields.
Dimensions String and categorical columns used for filtering and grouping in synced queries. Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph.

How the Apache Druid and Neo4j 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

Neo4j

Integration surface
Bolt binary protocol with Cypher via official drivers, plus an HTTP query API
Authentication
Username/password (basic auth); enterprise deployments add SSO options
Change detection
Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes; otherwise Cypher polling on timestamp properties
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
