Why teams connect DuckDB and Pigment

Work with Pigment's financial data straight from DuckDB: 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 Users and permissions, Applications, Metrics, Dimension lists from Pigment into Tables, Views, External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON), Attached databases in DuckDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against DuckDB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Pigment with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Push CRM pipeline data (deals, stages, amounts) into Pigment for revenue and capacity planning.
  • Export approved budgets and forecasts back to a warehouse or Postgres for downstream reporting.
  • Sync SaaS data to Parquet on object storage and query it with DuckDB without standing up a warehouse.
  • Push aggregates computed in DuckDB out to a CRM or business tools so analysis results reach operational systems.

Internal tools without API plumbing

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

Write back safely

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

React to financial events

Changes in Pigment appear in DuckDB as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

What you can sync between DuckDB and Pigment

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.

DuckDB objects Pigment objects
Database files Single-file .duckdb databases that jobs read and write directly on disk or object storage. Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs. Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by
Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data. Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems
Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers. Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context
External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) Files DuckDB queries in place without loading, common as a sync interchange format. Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model
Attached databases Additional database files or external systems attached into one session for cross-source queries. Users and permissions Access controls governing which model areas a sync can touch
