Why teams connect DuckDB and Rockset

Connect DuckDB and Rockset 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 DuckDB's rows in Rockset, 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 DuckDB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

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

Common use cases

  • Sync Postgres or DynamoDB tables into collections for low-latency aggregations without loading a batch warehouse.
  • Read query results back into an operational database to expose computed metrics to applications.
  • 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.

Offload heavy reads

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

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from DuckDB land in Rockset as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

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

What you can sync between DuckDB and Rockset

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 Rockset objects
Attached databases Additional database files or external systems attached into one session for cross-source queries. Aliases Stable names that point at collections, used to swap datasets without changing queries.
Database files Single-file .duckdb databases that jobs read and write directly on disk or object storage. Integrations Managed source connections (databases, streams, object storage) feeding collections.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs. Virtual Instances Isolated compute units that separate ingest from query workloads.
Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data. Collections Schemaless document containers that ingested and synced records land in.
Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers. Documents JSON records addressable by _id, written via the Write API in sync pipelines.
External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) Files DuckDB queries in place without loading, common as a sync interchange format. Workspaces Namespaces that group collections and query lambdas per team or environment.

How the DuckDB and Rockset connectors work

DuckDB

Integration surface
In-process SQL engine via client libraries (Python, Node.js, JDBC, CLI); no server or network API by default
Authentication
None built in; access control is file-system level (MotherDuck adds token auth for its hosted service)
Change detection
Polling or full re-reads; no change feed or transaction log API
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by local compute and I/O

Rockset

Integration surface
REST API (SQL over HTTP, plus a document Write API)
Authentication
API key
Change detection
Polling via SQL queries on timestamp fields; ingestion-side change capture is handled by Rockset's managed source connectors
Capabilities
