Why teams connect Couchbase and YugabyteDB

Keep Couchbase and YugabyteDB 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 Couchbase and YugabyteDB 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

  • Sync Couchbase JSON documents into Postgres or a warehouse where analysts work with flattened relational tables.
  • Stream document mutations via DCP into downstream systems so caches, search indexes, or warehouses stay current.
  • Consolidate data from regional YugabyteDB clusters into one reporting store.
  • Run log-based CDC from YugabyteDB tables into a warehouse for analytics without batch dumps.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Couchbase and YugabyteDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

What you can sync between Couchbase and YugabyteDB

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.

Couchbase objects YugabyteDB objects
JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables.
Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.
XDCR replications Cluster-to-cluster replication streams, useful context when choosing a sync source cluster. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively.
Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets.
Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes.
Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping.

How the Couchbase and YugabyteDB connectors work

Couchbase

Integration surface
SQL++ (N1QL) query service, key-value SDK APIs, and REST management APIs
Authentication
Database credentials with role-based access control, typically over TLS
Change detection
Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations; SQL++ polling on document fields as an alternative
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits

YugabyteDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible YSQL) plus a Cassandra-compatible YCQL API
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.
