Why teams connect IBM Informix and VoltDB

Keep IBM Informix and VoltDB 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 IBM Informix and VoltDB 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 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.
  • Push aggregates from VoltDB materialized views into dashboards or operational tools.
  • Sync customer or account reference data from a CRM into VoltDB replicated tables for in-transaction lookups such as fraud or policy checks.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both IBM Informix and VoltDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

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.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and VoltDB

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.

IBM Informix objects VoltDB objects
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Replicated Tables Small reference tables copied to every partition, a common landing spot for synced lookup data.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Stored Procedures Precompiled transactional units that serve as the primary write interface.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Materialized Views Synchronously maintained aggregates over tables, useful as pre-computed read sources.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Streams Insert-only constructs that feed the export subsystem with committed rows.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Export Targets and Topics Connectors that push committed data to external systems such as Kafka or JDBC sinks.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Partitioned Tables Tables sharded across partitions by a partitioning column; the primary transactional store and sync target.

How the IBM Informix and VoltDB connectors work

IBM Informix

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers; DRDA connectivity is also supported
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.

VoltDB

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC plus native client libraries and an HTTP/JSON interface
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Export streams and topics push committed changes to configured targets; otherwise polling
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by partition count and cluster sizing.
