Why teams connect Citus and Pigment

Work with Pigment's financial data straight from Citus: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Applications, Metrics, Dimension lists, Tables from Pigment into Schemas, Views, Sequences, Distributed tables in Citus and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Citus, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Pigment with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Keep dimension lists such as departments and cost centers consistent with master data in the ERP.
  • Sync headcount and compensation data from an HRIS into workforce planning models.
  • Consolidate per-tenant rows from distributed tables into per-customer reporting databases.
  • Sync high-volume event or tenant data from a Citus cluster into a warehouse for cross-tenant analytics.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Pigment live in Citus as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Citus; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Pigment.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Citus propagate into Pigment, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Citus and Pigment

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.

Citus objects Pigment objects
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce
Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by
Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context
Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables. Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model
