Why teams connect GitHub and IBM Informix

Mirror GitHub's data into IBM Informix 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 Informix.

Stacksync mirrors Workflow runs (Actions), Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones from GitHub into TimeSeries objects, Stored procedures, Logical logs, Databases in IBM Informix 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

  • Sync organization and team membership with an identity or HR system to automate access reviews and offboarding.
  • Create GitHub issues automatically from records written elsewhere, such as bug reports logged in a CRM case object.
  • Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
  • Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.

Read GitHub with a query

Records from GitHub are ordinary rows in IBM Informix; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate GitHub from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in IBM Informix 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 Informix, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between GitHub and IBM Informix

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 Informix objects
Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories. TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables.
Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers. Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths.
Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from.
Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees. Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection.
Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools. Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets.
Commits Read-only history used to link code activity to tickets and releases. Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key.
