Why teams connect Attio and Citus

Treat Attio like part of your database: its records live in Citus as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Citus, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Companies, Users, Deals, Workspaces from Attio into Sequences, Distributed tables, Reference tables, Local tables in Citus with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Attio with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Run a two-way dual-run when migrating to Attio from another CRM.
  • Sync companies, people, and deals with Postgres so ops teams enrich and update CRM records with SQL.
  • Use a Citus cluster as the scalable operational store behind a customer-facing app while syncing summaries back to internal tools.
  • Consolidate per-tenant rows from distributed tables into per-customer reporting databases.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Citus sync onto the matching records in Attio, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Attio API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Attio arrive as row changes in Citus, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Attio and Citus

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.

Attio objects Citus objects
Users Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources.
Deals Pipeline records; read out for revenue reporting and written to from automation. Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts.
Workspaces Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets.
Custom objects Workspace-defined objects that behave like standard ones in the API. Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables.
People Standard person object; synced with marketing tools and warehouse person tables. Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables.
Companies Standard company object; matched to billing and product accounts in two-way syncs. Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write.

Citus

Integration surface
PostgreSQL wire protocol; any standard Postgres driver connects to the coordinator node
Authentication
Database credentials (standard PostgreSQL authentication; managed deployments add cloud IAM options)
Change detection
PostgreSQL logical decoding / CDC, with caveats: changes to distributed tables occur on worker shards, so CDC setup differs from single-node Postgres
