Why teams connect CockroachDB and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from CockroachDB: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Workers, Organizations, Positions, Compensation from Workday into Sequences, Changefeeds, Databases, Schemas in CockroachDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against CockroachDB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • Use changefeeds to propagate row changes from a multi-region cluster into a warehouse or search index.
  • Keep reference data consistent between CockroachDB and regional application databases.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Workday live in CockroachDB as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on CockroachDB; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Workday.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in CockroachDB propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between CockroachDB and Workday

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 Workday objects
Views Read-only projections used as curated sync sources. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems.
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep sync lookup queries fast on key columns. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.
Sequences ID generators that matter when writes originate from an external system. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Changefeeds Built-in CDC streams that emit row-level changes to external sinks. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
Databases Logical containers a sync connects to, addressed like PostgreSQL databases. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables from application tables. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools.

How the CockroachDB and Workday 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

Workday

Integration surface
SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for the REST API; integration system users with WS-Security or certificate-based auth for SOAP
Change detection
Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface
