Why teams connect Citus and Supabase

Keep Citus and Supabase synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Citus and Supabase continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • 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.
  • Mirror billing and subscription records into Supabase tables the application can join directly
  • Reflect auth.users state into support and CRM systems so teams see account status without querying the database

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Citus and Supabase, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between Citus and Supabase

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 Supabase objects
Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. auth.users Managed authentication users, often mirrored into CRM or support systems.
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. Row Level Security Policies Row-level access rules that govern what the REST layer exposes.
Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads such as event properties or nested objects.
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Database Functions Postgres functions that can transform or validate synced rows.
Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables. Storage Object Metadata File metadata rows that can be joined to synced application data.
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target.

How the Citus and Supabase 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

Supabase

Integration surface
Direct PostgreSQL wire protocol connection, plus an auto-generated REST API (PostgREST)
Authentication
Database credentials (connection string) for SQL access; API keys (anon / service role) for the REST layer
Change detection
Log-based CDC via Postgres logical replication, the same WAL feed that powers Supabase Realtime; database webhooks can also fire on row changes
Capabilities
read · write · CDC · webhooks
Rate limits
SQL access is bounded by connection limits (pooled connections are provided); the REST layer is subject to the platform's limits
