Why teams connect Braze and TiDB

Mirror Braze's data into TiDB 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 TiDB.

Stacksync mirrors Campaigns, Canvases, Subscription Groups, Content Blocks from Braze into Sequences, Databases, Tables, Views in TiDB 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.
  • Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics
  • Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Braze arrive as row changes in TiDB, 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 TiDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Braze and TiDB

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.

Braze objects TiDB objects
Custom Attributes Profile fields written from CRMs, warehouses, and product databases to drive personalization. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system.
Custom Events Behavioral events pushed into Braze to trigger campaigns and Canvases. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient.
Purchases Transaction records logged against profiles for revenue-based targeting. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows.
Segments Audience definitions read for membership export and campaign targeting. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client.
Campaigns Message sends whose metadata and analytics are read for reporting. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC.
Canvases Multi-step journeys; entry and performance data is read for lifecycle analysis. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward.

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Braze and TiDB.

How the Braze and TiDB connectors work

Braze

Integration surface
REST API
Authentication
REST API keys scoped to specific endpoints, issued per workspace
Change detection
Braze Currents streams engagement events outward; profile reads otherwise rely on export endpoints and polling
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Endpoints have per-endpoint rate limits documented by Braze; batch endpoints accept multiple users per request

TiDB

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol (SQL)
Authentication
Database credentials (MySQL-compatible username/password)
Change detection
Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks; polling also works
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas
