Why teams connect MariaDB and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from MariaDB: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Organizations, Positions, Compensation, Time Off and Absence from Workday into Primary and Unique Keys, System-Versioned Tables, JSON Columns, Stored Procedures in MariaDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against MariaDB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • Two-way sync between a MariaDB application database and a CRM so both systems hold the same customer records
  • Replicate ERP or billing master data into MariaDB databases that power customer-facing applications

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in MariaDB propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Workday appear in MariaDB as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Workday live in MariaDB as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

What you can sync between MariaDB and Workday

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.

MariaDB objects Workday objects
Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs.
Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems.
Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.
Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools.
