Why teams connect PostgreSQL and Rockset

Connect PostgreSQL and Rockset with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want PostgreSQL's rows in Rockset, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in PostgreSQL where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in PostgreSQL sync into Rockset in real time, and result tables in Rockset sync back into PostgreSQL, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 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.
  • 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

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from PostgreSQL land in Rockset as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Rockset sync into PostgreSQL, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

What you can sync between PostgreSQL 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.

PostgreSQL objects Rockset objects
Primary and Unique Keys Used as match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict resolution. Aliases Stable names that point at collections, used to swap datasets without changing queries.
JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. Integrations Managed source connections (databases, streams, object storage) feeding collections.
Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Virtual Instances Isolated compute units that separate ingest from query workloads.
Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields. Collections Schemaless document containers that ingested and synced records land in.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems. Documents JSON records addressable by _id, written via the Write API in sync pipelines.
Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync. Workspaces Namespaces that group collections and query lambdas per team or environment.
