Why teams connect Firebolt and Materialize

Keep tables consistent across Firebolt and Materialize, for a migration, a multi-warehouse stack, or a dataset two platforms both need.

Companies end up with two warehouses for practical reasons: a migration in progress, teams that standardized on different platforms, an acquisition, or tools that only connect to one of them. The result is the same dataset maintained twice, with duplicated pipelines and numbers that almost match.

Stacksync syncs tables between Firebolt and Materialize continuously, in either or both directions. Rows changed on one platform appear on the other within seconds, with schema and type mapping handled, so both warehouses answer questions with the same data.

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.
  • Drive alerting and operational tooling from SUBSCRIBE change streams instead of scheduled queries.
  • Maintain real-time inventory, usage, or account-health counters consumed by customer-facing applications.

Shared datasets across teams

Where different teams run different warehouses, sync the curated tables both rely on so their metrics agree by construction.

Consolidation after M&A

Bring the acquired company's warehouse data across continuously instead of through one-off dumps.

Migration without a big bang

When one platform is replacing the other, keep tables mirrored while workloads move over gradually, and cut over with nothing to backfill.

What you can sync between Firebolt and Materialize

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 Materialize objects
Engines Compute resources that must be running for a sync to read or write. Clusters Compute pools that isolate ingestion, view maintenance, and serving.
Databases Logical containers holding the tables a sync targets. Connections & Secrets Stored credentials and endpoints used by sources and sinks.
Tables Managed columnar tables written with SQL; the main sync destination. Schemas & Databases Namespaces that organize objects a sync targets.
External tables References to files in object storage used to stage bulk loads. Tables User-managed tables that accept INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from sync pipelines.
Views Curated query surfaces commonly used as sources for reverse ETL. Sources Ingestion points (Kafka, Postgres CDC, MySQL CDC, webhook) that feed external data into Materialize.
Aggregating indexes Precomputed rollups maintained at write time; incremental loads update them automatically. Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets.

Rate limits
No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload

Materialize

Integration surface
PostgreSQL wire protocol (SQL)
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password; app passwords in the managed cloud service)
Change detection
SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client
Capabilities
