Why teams connect Firebolt and StarRocks

Keep tables consistent across Firebolt and StarRocks, 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 StarRocks 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 CRM objects into Firebolt so customer-facing dashboards reflect recent pipeline changes.
  • Keep dimension tables aligned with source systems while high-volume event data loads through separate batch pipelines.
  • Continuously apply upserts from operational databases into Primary Key tables to keep analytics current
  • Serve customer-facing analytics from SaaS data synced into one analytical store

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.

Serve tools that only connect to one platform

Mirror the datasets a BI tool, notebook, or application needs onto the platform it can actually reach.

Shared datasets across teams

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

What you can sync between Firebolt and StarRocks

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 StarRocks objects
Aggregating indexes Precomputed rollups maintained at write time; incremental loads update them automatically. Columns Columnar storage with types mapped from source systems during sync.
Engines Compute resources that must be running for a sync to read or write. Databases Top-level namespaces addressed exactly as in MySQL clients.
Databases Logical containers holding the tables a sync targets. Tables Defined with a table model (Primary Key, Unique Key, Aggregate, Duplicate Key) that determines update behavior.
Tables Managed columnar tables written with SQL; the main sync destination. Materialized views Automatically maintained rollups used to accelerate queries on synced data.
External tables References to files in object storage used to stage bulk loads. Views Logical views for shaping analytical reads.
Views Curated query surfaces commonly used as sources for reverse ETL. Partitions Time or range partitions that scope loads and retention.

How the Firebolt and StarRocks 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

StarRocks

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol for SQL; HTTP-based Stream Load API for ingestion
Authentication
Database credentials (MySQL-compatible username/password)
Change detection
Query-based polling when reading; StarRocks is most often the destination side of a sync
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Ingestion throughput is bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas
