Why teams connect MotherDuck and Rockset

Keep tables consistent across MotherDuck and Rockset, for a migration, a multi-warehouse stack, or a dataset two platforms both need.

Companies end up with two warehouses for practical reasons: a migration in progress, teams that standardized on different platforms, an acquisition, or tools that only connect to one of them. The result is the same dataset maintained twice, with duplicated pipelines and numbers that almost match.

Stacksync syncs tables between MotherDuck and Rockset continuously, in either or both directions. Rows changed on one platform appear on the other within seconds, with schema and type mapping handled, so both warehouses answer questions with the same data.

Common use cases

  • Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares
  • Land CRM and operational database records in MotherDuck so a small team gets warehouse-style analytics without cluster management
  • Serve real-time dashboards over CRM and ERP records synced from operational databases.
  • Sync Postgres or DynamoDB tables into collections for low-latency aggregations without loading a batch warehouse.

Migration without a big bang

When one platform is replacing the other, keep tables mirrored while workloads move over gradually, and cut over with nothing to backfill.

Serve tools that only connect to one platform

Mirror the datasets a BI tool, notebook, or application needs onto the platform it can actually reach.

Shared datasets across teams

Where different teams run different warehouses, sync the curated tables both rely on so their metrics agree by construction.

What you can sync between MotherDuck and Rockset

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.

MotherDuck objects Rockset objects
Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams. Virtual Instances Isolated compute units that separate ingest from query workloads.
Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries. Collections Schemaless document containers that ingested and synced records land in.
Databases Cloud-hosted DuckDB databases that scope a sync's reads and writes. Documents JSON records addressable by _id, written via the Write API in sync pipelines.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables. Workspaces Namespaces that group collections and query lambdas per team or environment.
Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis. Query Lambdas Named, parameterized SQL queries invoked over REST to read synced data.
Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources. Aliases Stable names that point at collections, used to swap datasets without changing queries.
