Why teams connect Firebolt and InterSystems IRIS

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

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

Common use cases

  • Sync aggregated results from Firebolt back to operational tools that need computed metrics (reverse ETL).
  • Sync CRM objects into Firebolt so customer-facing dashboards reflect recent pipeline changes.
  • Keep reference data consistent between an IRIS-based clinical or financial application and downstream SaaS tools
  • Write enriched or corrected records from SaaS apps back into IRIS tables for on-platform processing

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 Firebolt and keep InterSystems IRIS focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from InterSystems IRIS land in Firebolt as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between Firebolt and InterSystems IRIS

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.

Firebolt objects InterSystems IRIS objects
Engines Compute resources that must be running for a sync to read or write. Stored Procedures Server-side logic callable over SQL supports controlled writes and transformations.
Databases Logical containers holding the tables a sync targets. Tables Relational projections of stored data are the primary read/write surface for SQL-based syncs.
Tables Managed columnar tables written with SQL; the main sync destination. Views SQL views expose curated slices of data for outbound replication.
External tables References to files in object storage used to stage bulk loads. Schemas Schema organization scopes which tables a sync connection can see.
Views Curated query surfaces commonly used as sources for reverse ETL. Persistent Classes Object-model classes project to tables, so class data is reachable through SQL.
Aggregating indexes Precomputed rollups maintained at write time; incremental loads update them automatically. Globals The underlying multidimensional storage; typically accessed indirectly via SQL or objects in syncs.

How the Firebolt and InterSystems IRIS connectors work

Firebolt

Integration surface
SQL over a REST API, with JDBC, Python, and Node.js SDKs
Authentication
Service account credentials (client ID and secret) exchanged for OAuth 2.0 tokens
Change detection
Polling; Firebolt is an analytics destination and does not expose a change feed
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload

InterSystems IRIS

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC, plus object and REST access layers
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Polling (timestamp or query-based); no standard webhook surface
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Constrained by database resources rather than published API rate limits
