Why teams connect GitHub and IBM Db2

Mirror GitHub's data into IBM Db2 so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like GitHub through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in IBM Db2.

Stacksync mirrors Pull Requests, Commits, Releases, Workflow runs (Actions) from GitHub into Tables, Views, Indexes, Stored Procedures in IBM Db2 and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into GitHub, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Mirror repository, PR, and workflow-run data into a Postgres database for engineering-metrics reporting.
  • Sync organization and team membership with an identity or HR system to automate access reviews and offboarding.
  • Expose Db2 records that back core business systems to a CRM so sales and support see order or account state.
  • Sync SaaS data into Db2 tables that existing enterprise applications and reports already consume.

Automate GitHub from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in IBM Db2 and Stacksync propagates the change into GitHub, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in GitHub arrive as row changes in IBM Db2, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

What you can sync between GitHub and IBM Db2

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.

GitHub objects IBM Db2 objects
Releases Tagged versions synced into changelogs, CRMs, or customer-notification systems. Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns.
Workflow runs (Actions) CI results synced into incident and reporting systems. Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths.
Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews. Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows.
Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories. Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables.
Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers. Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses.
Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects.
