Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Braze

Mirror Braze's data into Azure Cosmos DB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Braze through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Azure Cosmos DB.

Stacksync mirrors Campaigns, Canvases, Subscription Groups, Content Blocks from Braze into Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries, Stored procedures and triggers in Azure Cosmos DB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Braze, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Export campaign and Canvas engagement data into a warehouse for cross-channel reporting.
  • Sync audience membership computed in the warehouse into Braze segments for targeting.
  • Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.
  • Stream operational documents from Cosmos DB into a SQL warehouse via the change feed for analytics without hitting request-unit budgets with full scans.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Braze arrive as row changes in Azure Cosmos DB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Braze with a query

Records from Braze are ordinary rows in Azure Cosmos DB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB and Braze

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.

Azure Cosmos DB objects Braze objects
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Content Blocks Reusable message content referenced across campaigns.
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Users The central profile object, identified by external ID, Braze ID, or user aliases; the main sync target.
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization.
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases.
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Purchases Transaction records logged against profiles for revenue-based targeting.
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting.
