Two-way sync
Changes in Elasticsearch or Postgres Heroku instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
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 Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku 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.
Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.
Keep the same dataset live in both Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.
When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.
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.
| Elasticsearch objects | Postgres Heroku objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Aliases Stable read/write names that let a sync cut over between index versions without downtime. | Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. | |
| Data streams Append-only targets for time-series or event data pushed from source systems. | Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. | |
| Ingest pipelines Server-side transforms applied to documents as a sync writes them. | Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. | |
| Index templates Reusable settings and mappings applied automatically to new indices a sync creates. | Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. | |
| Indices Target containers for synced records; each holds a table-like collection of JSON documents. | Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. | |
| Documents The unit of sync; JSON records created, updated, and deleted by _id. | Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. |
Real-time sync, workflow automation, event queues, EDI, and monitoring, for every Elasticsearch–Postgres Heroku connection.
Changes in Elasticsearch or Postgres Heroku instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Trigger automated workflows whenever Elasticsearch or Postgres Heroku data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.
Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Elasticsearch or Postgres Heroku record.
Track your Elasticsearch ⇄ Postgres Heroku sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.
Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku.
Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.
Authenticate Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
Pick the Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku objects to sync — Stacksync auto-detects both schemas, including custom fields where the platform exposes them. Sync to existing tables, or let Stacksync create new ones with ideal data types.
Fields map automatically even when names and types differ. Stacksync handles transformation and type casting for you, zero configuration required.
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Elasticsearch's Aliases and Data streams), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
Elasticsearch: Optimistic concurrency uses _seq_no and _primary_term instead of row locks, which matters when two writers touch the same document. Postgres Heroku: Heroku Postgres is standard PostgreSQL, so any Postgres client, driver, or SQL tool connects unchanged. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku without custom code.
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku records are not retained after a sync operation.
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Elasticsearch–Postgres Heroku integration in-house.
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Elasticsearch and Postgres Heroku. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
Change detection on Elasticsearch: Polling on timestamp or sequence fields; Elasticsearch does not expose a native change feed or webhooks. On Postgres Heroku: Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
