Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Salesforce

Sync Salesforce into Cloudera Data Platform continuously and push warehouse results back onto CRM records, one two-way connection instead of two pipelines.

The CRM feeds the warehouse and the warehouse should feed the CRM: relationship data flows one way, and computed scores, segments, and customer context flow back. Most teams build the first half as a batch pipeline and never quite get to the second.

Stacksync does both with one connection. Leads, Opportunities, Cases, Campaigns from Salesforce land in Cloudera Data Platform as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in Cloudera Data Platform write back to fields in Salesforce. There is no separate ETL and reverse-ETL stack to stitch together and no jobs to babysit.

Common use cases

  • Sync Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities bi-directionally with Postgres so engineering teams read and write CRM data with plain SQL.
  • Write product usage metrics computed in a warehouse onto Account and Contact fields so reps see adoption signals on the record.
  • Publish CRM or ERP records into CDP so enterprise analytics runs alongside existing data lake workloads.
  • Consolidate tables from on-prem and cloud CDP environments into a single cloud warehouse target.

A single customer view

Join Salesforce's relationship data with billing, product, and support data in Cloudera Data Platform to build the customer picture the CRM alone cannot hold.

Cleanup that sticks

Deduplication and normalization done in Cloudera Data Platform can be written back, so warehouse-side cleanup actually fixes the CRM.

CRM analytics on live data

Accounts, contacts, and activity from Salesforce are queryable in Cloudera Data Platform moments after they change, so dashboards stop lagging the reality they describe.

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform and Salesforce

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.

Cloudera Data Platform objects Salesforce objects
Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables. Campaigns Marketing membership data; read out for attribution analysis in the warehouse.
Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Tasks and Events Activity records; usually read-only in syncs to feed activity reporting.
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Products and Price Books Catalog and pricing data; commonly mastered in an ERP and written into Salesforce.
Impala tables The same metastore tables served through Impala for lower-latency SQL reads. Custom Objects Org-specific tables with the __c suffix; discoverable via describe metadata so field mappings can be generated.
Kudu tables Storage engine tables that support row-level inserts, updates, and deletes. Accounts Company records that anchor most syncs; typically mapped to customer tables in a database or ERP.
Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records.
