Why teams connect PostgreSQL and RavenDB

Keep PostgreSQL and RavenDB 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 PostgreSQL and RavenDB 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

  • Expose SaaS objects (CRM contacts, ERP invoices, support tickets) as Postgres tables that internal tools can query and join
  • Let an application write to its own database and have those rows appear as records in business systems in near real time
  • Keep external search indexes or caches current from RavenDB change feeds without custom pollers.
  • Stream RavenDB document changes into Postgres or a warehouse via data subscriptions for SQL analytics.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both PostgreSQL and RavenDB, 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.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

What you can sync between PostgreSQL and RavenDB

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.

PostgreSQL objects RavenDB objects
JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Data subscriptions Server-side change feeds that push matching documents to consumers
Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields. Documents JSON records, the primary unit read and written during sync
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems. Collections Groupings of documents by type, mapped to tables in relational targets
Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync. Indexes Static and auto indexes used to query documents for filtered reads
Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule. Attachments Binary payloads stored with documents, handled separately from the JSON body
What ships with PostgreSQL ⇄ RavenDB

Connect PostgreSQL and RavenDB for flexible, real-time data sync.

Real-time sync, workflow automation, event queues, EDI, and monitoring, for every PostgreSQL–RavenDB connection.

Real-time

Two-way sync

Changes in PostgreSQL or RavenDB instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.

No-code + pro-code

Workflow automation

Trigger automated workflows whenever PostgreSQL or RavenDB data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single PostgreSQL or RavenDB record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your PostgreSQL ⇄ RavenDB sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between PostgreSQL and RavenDB.

How the PostgreSQL and RavenDB connectors work

PostgreSQL

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL frontend/backend protocol)
Authentication
Database credentials (connection string or parameters), with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + host); a least-privilege DB user
Change detection
Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector; database triggers (TRIGGER grant + stacksync_logging schema) via the trigger-based "Postgres Heroku" connector where
Capabilities

Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput
PostgreSQL setup guide

RavenDB

Integration surface
HTTP REST API with official clients (.NET, Java, Node.js, Python, and others)
Authentication
X.509 client certificates on secured servers, instead of username and password
Change detection
data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds

How it works

How to connect PostgreSQL to RavenDB — three steps, no code

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate PostgreSQL and RavenDB with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.

    Choose tables

    Pick the PostgreSQL and RavenDB objects to sync — Stacksync auto-detects both schemas, including custom fields where the platform exposes them. Sync to existing tables, or let Stacksync create new ones with ideal data types.
