Why teams connect CockroachDB and Front

Mirror Front's data into CockroachDB 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 Front 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 CockroachDB.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, Accounts, Inboxes, Tags from Front into Views, Indexes, Sequences, Changefeeds in CockroachDB 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 Front, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.
  • Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.
  • Consolidate data from several SaaS tools into one distributed SQL store that survives zone failures.
  • Write application events from CockroachDB back to CRM fields to give go-to-market teams product context.

Read Front with a query

Records from Front are ordinary rows in CockroachDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Front from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in CockroachDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Front, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Front arrive as row changes in CockroachDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between CockroachDB and Front

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.

CockroachDB objects Front objects
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting.
Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from.
Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics.
Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs.
Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context.
