Why teams connect Databricks and YugabyteDB

Connect YugabyteDB and Databricks with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want YugabyteDB's rows in Databricks, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in YugabyteDB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in YugabyteDB sync into Databricks in real time, and result tables in Databricks sync back into YugabyteDB, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Serve ML feature outputs computed in Databricks to production apps through a synced operational store.
  • Land CRM and ERP records in Delta tables continuously so lakehouse models work from current operational data.
  • Sync reference data such as pricing or entitlements from an ERP into YugabyteDB for globally distributed low-latency reads.
  • Consolidate data from regional YugabyteDB clusters into one reporting store.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Databricks sync into YugabyteDB, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Databricks and keep YugabyteDB focused on its operational workload.

What you can sync between Databricks 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.

Databricks objects YugabyteDB objects
Catalogs Top level of the Unity Catalog namespace, scoping which schemas a sync can address. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping.
Schemas Group tables and views; syncs typically target a dedicated schema per source system. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data.
Delta Tables The primary read and write target; operational data lands here as managed or external tables. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables.
Views Curated read-only projections used as sync sources for downstream tools. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.
Materialized Views Precomputed results read on a schedule for reverse-ETL style syncs. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively.
Volumes Unity Catalog file storage used for staging bulk loads. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets.
