Why teams connect Postgres Heroku and YugabyteDB
Keep Postgres Heroku and YugabyteDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.
Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.
Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Postgres Heroku and YugabyteDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.
Common use cases
- 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
- Two-way sync between YugabyteDB application tables and a CRM so product data and account records stay consistent.
- Sync reference data such as pricing or entitlements from an ERP into YugabyteDB for globally distributed low-latency reads.
Regional or environment copies
Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.
Cross-engine sync
Keep the same dataset live in both Postgres Heroku and YugabyteDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.
Migration with zero-downtime cutover
When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.
What you can sync between Postgres Heroku and YugabyteDB
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 | YugabyteDB objects | |
|---|---|---|
| JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. | Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping. | |
| Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. | Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data. | |
| Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. | Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables. | |
| Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. | CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors. | |
| Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. | Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively. | |
| Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. | Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets. |

How the Postgres Heroku and YugabyteDB 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
YugabyteDB
- Integration surface
- SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible YSQL) plus a Cassandra-compatible YCQL API
- Authentication
- Database credentials
- Change detection
- Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors
- Capabilities
- read · write · CDC
- Rate limits
- No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.

FAQ
Postgres Heroku and YugabyteDB integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Postgres Heroku and YugabyteDB: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Postgres Heroku's JSONB Columns and Sequences), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
On the Postgres Heroku side: Primary and Unique Keys, JSONB Columns, Sequences, Follower Databases, plus custom fields where Postgres Heroku exposes them. On the YugabyteDB side: Indexes, Materialized Views, Schemas, Sequences. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Postgres Heroku and YugabyteDB: Regional or environment copies; Cross-engine sync; Migration with zero-downtime cutover. Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.
-
Postgres Heroku: SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL). Authentication: Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required. YugabyteDB: SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible YSQL) plus a Cassandra-compatible YCQL API. Authentication: Database credentials. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Postgres Heroku: Heroku Postgres is standard PostgreSQL, so any Postgres client, driver, or SQL tool connects unchanged. YugabyteDB: A second, Cassandra-compatible API (YCQL) is available alongside YSQL on the same cluster. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Postgres Heroku and YugabyteDB without custom code.
