Why teams connect Azure Synapse Analytics and OpenSearch

Connect OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch'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 OpenSearch where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

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

Common use cases

  • Consolidate SaaS data alongside lake data so analysts join both through one SQL surface.
  • Load CRM and ERP records into Synapse dedicated SQL pool tables for enterprise reporting.
  • Sync product catalogs from an ERP or database into the indexes that back storefront search.
  • Keep Postgres as the source of truth while mirroring rows to OpenSearch for full-text and vector queries.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from OpenSearch 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 OpenSearch, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

What you can sync between Azure Synapse Analytics and OpenSearch

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 OpenSearch objects
Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads. Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written
External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs. Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems
Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly. Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository
Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers. Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings
Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets. Documents JSON records written via the index and bulk APIs and read via search queries
SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run. Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills

How the Azure Synapse Analytics and OpenSearch 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

OpenSearch

Integration surface
REST API over HTTP(S) with JSON payloads
Authentication
basic authentication with the security plugin, or AWS IAM request signing on Amazon OpenSearch Service
Change detection
no native change feed; reads rely on queries with scroll or point-in-time polling
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas
