Why teams connect CockroachDB and Neo4j

Keep CockroachDB and Neo4j 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 CockroachDB and Neo4j 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

  • 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.
  • Mirror CRM accounts and contacts into a graph to model buying-group and referral relationships.
  • Sync product catalog and order history into Neo4j to power recommendation queries.

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 CockroachDB and Neo4j, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

What you can sync between CockroachDB and Neo4j

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 Neo4j objects
Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields.
Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph.
Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Indexes & Constraints Uniqueness constraints and indexes that make MERGE-based upserts reliable and fast.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. Databases Named databases in a single instance that scope multi-tenant or multi-domain syncs.
Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Users & Roles Security principals controlling what an integration credential can query or modify.
Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Nodes Entity records (customers, products, accounts) written from source systems as labeled nodes.

How the CockroachDB and Neo4j connectors work

CockroachDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible)
Authentication
Database credentials with TLS; client certificates or SCRAM password auth
Change detection
CDC via changefeeds, which stream row-level changes; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits in the SaaS sense; throughput is bounded by cluster capacity

Neo4j

Integration surface
Bolt binary protocol with Cypher via official drivers, plus an HTTP query API
Authentication
Username/password (basic auth); enterprise deployments add SSO options
Change detection
Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes; otherwise Cypher polling on timestamp properties
Capabilities
