Why teams connect Google Cloud SQL and OpenSearch

Keep Google Cloud SQL and OpenSearch 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 Cloud SQL and OpenSearch 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

  • Keep an internal admin application backed by Cloud SQL consistent with an ERP or billing system.
  • Migrate from a self-managed database by syncing Cloud SQL and the legacy system during cutover.
  • Sync product catalogs from an ERP or database into the indexes that back storefront search.
  • Keep Postgres as the source of truth while mirroring rows to OpenSearch for full-text and vector queries.

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 Cloud SQL and OpenSearch

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 SQL objects OpenSearch objects
Tables Mapped directly to sync targets; schema changes can be propagated. Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems
Rows Read and written by primary key during each sync cycle. Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository
Views Read-only sources for shaping data before syncing it out. Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings
Transaction logs MySQL binlog or PostgreSQL WAL, the source for log-based change capture. Documents JSON records written via the index and bulk APIs and read via search queries
Instances The managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server server a sync connects to. Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills
Databases Scope the tables included in a sync configuration. Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates

How the Google Cloud SQL and OpenSearch connectors work

Google Cloud SQL

Integration surface
Native SQL wire protocols (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server) plus a REST admin API for instance management
Authentication
Database credentials; IAM database authentication is available for MySQL and PostgreSQL
Change detection
Engine-dependent log-based CDC: MySQL binlog, PostgreSQL logical replication, SQL Server change tracking; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Constrained by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas.

OpenSearch

Integration surface
REST API over HTTP(S) with JSON payloads
Authentication
basic authentication with the security plugin, or AWS IAM request signing on Amazon OpenSearch Service
Change detection
no native change feed; reads rely on queries with scroll or point-in-time polling
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas
How it works

How to connect Google Cloud SQL to OpenSearch — 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 Cloud SQL and OpenSearch with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
