Why teams connect Microsoft 365 and TiDB

Mirror Microsoft 365's data into TiDB 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 TiDB.

Stacksync mirrors Users, Groups, Mail Messages, Calendar Events from Microsoft 365 into Databases, Tables, Views, Columns in TiDB 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

  • Sync SharePoint lists with operational databases so business users edit in SharePoint while systems read SQL.
  • Archive mail and file metadata into a warehouse for compliance and activity analytics.
  • Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics
  • Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas

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.

Read Microsoft 365 with a query

Records from Microsoft 365 are ordinary rows in TiDB; 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 TiDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Microsoft 365, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Microsoft 365 and TiDB

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 TiDB objects
Groups Microsoft 365 and security groups kept aligned with org structure and access rules. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client.
Mail Messages Exchange Online messages read for logging, archiving, or activity capture. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC.
Calendar Events Events synced with scheduling tools and CRMs for meeting visibility. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward.
Contacts Personal and org contacts kept consistent with CRM contact records. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system.
OneDrive Files (driveItems) File and folder metadata synced for document workflows and audits. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient.
SharePoint Sites & Lists List items read and written like lightweight database tables. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows.
