Why teams connect Azure Synapse Analytics and CockroachDB

Connect CockroachDB and Azure Synapse Analytics 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 CockroachDB's rows in Azure Synapse Analytics, 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 CockroachDB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

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

Common use cases

  • Load CRM and ERP records into Synapse dedicated SQL pool tables for enterprise reporting.
  • Publish warehouse aggregates (account health scores, LTV) from Synapse back into operational tools like a CRM.
  • Write application events from CockroachDB back to CRM fields to give go-to-market teams product context.
  • Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Azure Synapse Analytics and keep CockroachDB focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from CockroachDB land in Azure Synapse Analytics as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Azure Synapse Analytics sync into CockroachDB, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between Azure Synapse Analytics and CockroachDB

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 Synapse Analytics objects CockroachDB objects
Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables.
Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets. Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases.
SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run. Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources.
Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns.
External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs. Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system.
Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly. Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks.

How the Azure Synapse Analytics and CockroachDB connectors work

Azure Synapse Analytics

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS) with T-SQL for SQL pools; additional Spark and pipeline surfaces exist but syncs use the SQL endpoint
Authentication
SQL authentication or Microsoft Entra ID
Change detection
Polling on watermark columns; Synapse SQL pools do not expose log-based CDC for downstream consumers
Capabilities
read · write

CockroachDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible)
Authentication
Database credentials with TLS; client certificates or SCRAM password auth
Change detection
CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity
