Why teams connect Google AlloyDB and PostgreSQL

Keep Google AlloyDB and PostgreSQL synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Google AlloyDB and PostgreSQL continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Migrate workloads from self-managed Postgres while keeping existing syncs pointed at a compatible endpoint.
  • Mirror CRM objects into AlloyDB tables so product and internal tools query customer data with plain SQL.
  • Let an application write to its own database and have those rows appear as records in business systems in near real time
  • Consolidate data from several microservice databases into one operational Postgres store

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

What you can sync between Google AlloyDB and PostgreSQL

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.

Google AlloyDB objects PostgreSQL objects
Databases Standard PostgreSQL databases within an AlloyDB cluster that syncs connect to. Primary and Unique Keys Used as match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict resolution.
Schemas Namespaces used to separate synced SaaS data from application tables. JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata.
Tables Primary read/write target for bi-directional sync with CRMs and other systems. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs.
Views Curated projections used as read-only sync sources. Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields.
Materialized Views Precomputed aggregates refreshed and synced outward on a schedule. Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems.
Indexes Keep sync key lookups fast on high-volume tables. Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync.

SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible), with connectivity through the AlloyDB Auth Proxy or private IP
Authentication
Database credentials or IAM database authentication
Change detection
Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication; polling on timestamp columns as a fallback
Capabilities

Rate limits
No API-style rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance size

PostgreSQL

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL frontend/backend protocol)
Authentication
Database credentials (connection string or parameters), with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + host); a least-privilege DB user

How it works

How to connect Google AlloyDB to PostgreSQL — three steps, no code

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate Google AlloyDB and PostgreSQL with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
