Why teams connect Google Cloud Spanner and ServiceNow

Mirror ServiceNow's data into Google Cloud Spanner 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 ServiceNow 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 Google Cloud Spanner.

Stacksync mirrors Knowledge Articles, Custom Tables, Incidents, Change Requests from ServiceNow into Change streams, Views, Databases, Tables in Google Cloud Spanner 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 ServiceNow, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Bi-directional sync of incidents with engineering issue trackers so IT and engineering work the same ticket without re-keying
  • Keep CMDB configuration items aligned with asset inventories and cloud resource databases
  • Push billing or entitlement changes from finance tools into Spanner tables the application reads at runtime.
  • Use change streams to feed near-real-time copies of operational tables into an analytics warehouse.

Automate ServiceNow from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Google Cloud Spanner and Stacksync propagates the change into ServiceNow, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in ServiceNow arrive as row changes in Google Cloud Spanner, 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 Google Cloud Spanner and ServiceNow

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 Cloud Spanner objects ServiceNow objects
Secondary indexes Used to make incremental read queries efficient on non-key columns. Tasks The base task table that incidents, changes, and requests extend.
Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture. Knowledge Articles Support content that can be mirrored to help centers or search indexes.
Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner. Custom Tables Scoped or u_-prefixed tables are addressable through the same Table API as standard ones.
Databases Top-level containers that scope schema and sync configuration. Incidents The core ITSM ticket; commonly synced with engineering trackers and CRMs.
Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets. Change Requests Track planned changes; synced to deployment and release tooling.
Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting.
