Why teams connect Microsoft 365 and Postgres Heroku

Mirror Microsoft 365's data into Postgres Heroku 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 Microsoft 365 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 Postgres Heroku.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, OneDrive Files (driveItems), SharePoint Sites & Lists, Teams from Microsoft 365 into Tables, Views, Materialized Views, Schemas in Postgres Heroku 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 Microsoft 365, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Archive mail and file metadata into a warehouse for compliance and activity analytics.
  • Keep CRM contacts and Microsoft 365 contacts aligned in both directions.
  • Sync Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos
  • Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record

Read Microsoft 365 with a query

Records from Microsoft 365 are ordinary rows in Postgres Heroku; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Microsoft 365 from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Postgres Heroku and Stacksync propagates the change into Microsoft 365, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Microsoft 365 arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Microsoft 365 and Postgres Heroku

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.

Microsoft 365 objects Postgres Heroku objects
Teams Team and membership data provisioned from upstream systems. Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes.
Planner & To Do Tasks Task items synced with project and work-management tools. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems.
Users Entra ID user accounts synced with HR and identity systems. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata.
Groups Microsoft 365 and security groups kept aligned with org structure and access rules. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs.
Mail Messages Exchange Online messages read for logging, archiving, or activity capture. Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources.
Calendar Events Events synced with scheduling tools and CRMs for meeting visibility. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data.
