Why teams connect CockroachDB and GitHub

Mirror GitHub'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 GitHub 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 Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones, Repositories from GitHub into Tables, Views, Indexes, Sequences 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 GitHub, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Create GitHub issues automatically from records written elsewhere, such as bug reports logged in a CRM case object.
  • Publish release data into customer-communication tools when a new version ships.
  • Keep reference data consistent between CockroachDB and regional application databases.
  • Consolidate data from several SaaS tools into one distributed SQL store that survives zone failures.

Read GitHub with a query

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

Automate GitHub from your codebase

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

React to changes as they happen

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

What you can sync between CockroachDB and GitHub

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 GitHub objects
Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories.
Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers.
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects.
Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees.
Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools.
Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Commits Read-only history used to link code activity to tickets and releases.
