Why teams connect Postgres Heroku and ServiceNow

Mirror ServiceNow'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 ServiceNow 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 Change Requests, Problems, Service Catalog Requests, Configuration Items (CMDB) from ServiceNow into Views, Materialized Views, Schemas, Primary and Unique Keys 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 ServiceNow, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • Create ServiceNow tickets automatically from CRM cases and sync status back as agents work them
  • Bi-directional sync of incidents with engineering issue trackers so IT and engineering work the same ticket without re-keying
  • Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record
  • Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows

Read ServiceNow with a query

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

Automate ServiceNow from your codebase

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

React to changes as they happen

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

What you can sync between Postgres Heroku and ServiceNow

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.

Postgres Heroku objects ServiceNow objects
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Change Requests Track planned changes; synced to deployment and release tooling.
Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. Problems Root-cause records linked to incidents, useful in cross-system reporting.
Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. Service Catalog Requests Requested items and approvals that often trigger provisioning in other systems.
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Configuration Items (CMDB) Asset and infrastructure records synced with discovery tools and asset databases.
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. Users and Groups Sys_user and group tables synced with HR systems and identity providers.
Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. Tasks The base task table that incidents, changes, and requests extend.

How the Postgres Heroku and ServiceNow connectors work

Postgres Heroku

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required
Change detection
Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan

ServiceNow

Integration surface
REST API (Table, Import Set, and Aggregate APIs); SOAP remains for legacy integrations
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 or basic authentication against the instance
Change detection
Polling on sys_updated_on timestamps; instance admins can configure outbound push through business rules or Flow Designer
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to instance-level API rate limits and concurrency semaphores configured by administrators
