Why teams connect Citus and Rillet

Work with Rillet'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 Charge, Reimbursement, Custom Field, Account from Rillet into Distributed tables, Reference tables, Local tables, Schemas 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 Rillet with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Sync AR and collection status back to customer success tools ahead of renewals.
  • Keep customers and invoices aligned between Rillet and a CRM so finance and sales work from the same account records.
  • Write CRM or billing records into reference tables so distributed queries can join operational context locally on every node.
  • Use a Citus cluster as the scalable operational store behind a customer-facing app while syncing summaries back to internal tools.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Rillet 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 Rillet.

Write back safely

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

What you can sync between Citus and Rillet

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 Rillet objects
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Custom Field Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables. Account Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Customer Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. Vendor Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Invoice Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. Credit Memo Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.

How the Citus and Rillet connectors work

Citus

Integration surface
PostgreSQL wire protocol; any standard Postgres driver connects to the coordinator node
Authentication
Database credentials (standard PostgreSQL authentication; managed deployments add cloud IAM options)
Change detection
PostgreSQL logical decoding / CDC, with caveats: changes to distributed tables occur on worker shards, so CDC setup differs from single-node Postgres
Capabilities
read · write · CDC

Rillet

Integration surface
REST API (OpenAPI-specified, with production and sandbox environments)
Authentication
API key generated in Rillet (Organization Setting -> API Access); uncheck Read Only for bidirectional sync, check Read Only for one-way sync
Change detection
Near real-time updates via change tracking; incremental sync per object, with delete detection (some objects checked every 1h or 4h)
Capabilities
read · write · CDC · webhooks
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
