Why teams connect Apache Pinot and Materialize

Keep tables consistent across Apache Pinot and Materialize, for a migration, a multi-warehouse stack, or a dataset two platforms both need.

Companies end up with two warehouses for practical reasons: a migration in progress, teams that standardized on different platforms, an acquisition, or tools that only connect to one of them. The result is the same dataset maintained twice, with duplicated pipelines and numbers that almost match.

Stacksync syncs tables between Apache Pinot and Materialize continuously, in either or both directions. Rows changed on one platform appear on the other within seconds, with schema and type mapping handled, so both warehouses answer questions with the same data.

Common use cases

  • Keep upsert-enabled real-time tables aligned with mutable operational records streamed from source systems.
  • Query per-account usage metrics from Pinot and sync them into CRM fields so sales sees product activity.
  • Bridge streaming sources and non-streaming destinations by materializing joins across both.
  • Sync operational CRM or ERP data into Materialize so real-time views stay current without batch loads.

Shared datasets across teams

Where different teams run different warehouses, sync the curated tables both rely on so their metrics agree by construction.

Consolidation after M&A

Bring the acquired company's warehouse data across continuously instead of through one-off dumps.

Migration without a big bang

When one platform is replacing the other, keep tables mirrored while workloads move over gradually, and cut over with nothing to backfill.

What you can sync between Apache Pinot and Materialize

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 Pinot objects Materialize objects
Real-time Tables Tables fed continuously from streams like Kafka, including upsert-enabled tables. Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets.
Offline Tables Batch-loaded tables merged with real-time data at query time. Sinks Outbound connections that emit view changes to Kafka topics.
Indexes Inverted, range, and star-tree indexes that determine which sync queries run at low latency. Indexes In-memory arrangements that make view reads fast for serving workloads.
Tenants Logical groupings that isolate workloads on shared clusters. Clusters Compute pools that isolate ingestion, view maintenance, and serving.
Tables The queryable unit, defined as offline, real-time, or hybrid; the main read target. Connections & Secrets Stored credentials and endpoints used by sources and sinks.
Schemas Column definitions (dimensions, metrics, time columns) mapped during integration setup. Schemas & Databases Namespaces that organize objects a sync targets.

How the Apache Pinot and Materialize connectors work

Apache Pinot

Integration surface
REST API (SQL queries via the broker; administration via the controller); JDBC client available
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: HTTP basic authentication or token-based auth where enabled
Change detection
Not applicable for reads out (polling by time column); data enters Pinot via streaming ingestion or segment upload, not row-level writes
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query throughput depends on broker and server sizing

Materialize

Integration surface
PostgreSQL wire protocol (SQL)
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password; app passwords in the managed cloud service)
Change detection
SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client
Capabilities
