Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and GitHub

Mirror GitHub'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 GitHub 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 Users, Labels and Milestones, Repositories, Issues from GitHub 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 GitHub, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Mirror repository, PR, and workflow-run data into a Postgres database for engineering-metrics reporting.
  • Sync organization and team membership with an identity or HR system to automate access reviews and offboarding.
  • Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
  • Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.

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 GitHub with a query

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

Automate GitHub from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Azure Cosmos DB and Stacksync propagates the change into GitHub, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB and GitHub

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 GitHub objects
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Releases Tagged versions synced into changelogs, CRMs, or customer-notification systems.
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. Workflow runs (Actions) CI results synced into incident and reporting systems.
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews.
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories.
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers.
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects.

How it works

How to connect Azure Cosmos DB to GitHub — three steps, no code

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate Azure Cosmos DB and GitHub with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
