Why teams connect CockroachDB and ServiceNow

Mirror ServiceNow'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 ServiceNow 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 Incidents, Change Requests, Problems, Service Catalog Requests from ServiceNow into Schemas, Tables, Views, Indexes 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 ServiceNow, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Keep CMDB configuration items aligned with asset inventories and cloud resource databases
  • Sync sys_user records with the HR system or identity provider so assignment groups stay accurate
  • 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 ServiceNow with a query

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

Automate ServiceNow from your codebase

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

React to changes as they happen

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

What you can sync between CockroachDB and ServiceNow

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 ServiceNow objects
Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Custom Tables Scoped or u_-prefixed tables are addressable through the same Table API as standard ones.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. Incidents The core ITSM ticket; commonly synced with engineering trackers and CRMs.
Tables The core read/write target; rows sync bi-directionally with SaaS objects or other databases. Change Requests Track planned changes; synced to deployment and release tooling.
Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting.
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems.
Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases.

How the CockroachDB and ServiceNow 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

ServiceNow

Integration surface
REST API (Table, Import Set, and Aggregate APIs); SOAP remains for legacy integrations
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 or basic authentication against the instance
Change detection
Polling on sys_updated_on timestamps; instance admins can configure outbound push through business rules or Flow Designer
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to instance-level API rate limits and concurrency semaphores configured by administrators
