Why teams connect Redis Enterprise and TiDB

Keep Redis Enterprise and TiDB 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 Redis Enterprise and TiDB 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

  • Hydrate session stores and feature stores from a warehouse or operational database on a schedule.
  • Write counters and leaderboard state from sorted sets back to an operational database for durable reporting.
  • Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge

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 Redis Enterprise and TiDB, 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 Redis Enterprise and TiDB

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.

Redis Enterprise objects TiDB objects
Hashes Field-value maps that commonly hold one synced row per hash, keyed by record ID. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system.
JSON documents Native JSON storage (RedisJSON) for nested records synced from APIs or document stores. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient.
Sets Unordered unique-member collections used for membership checks like segment or ID lists. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows.
Sorted Sets Score-ordered collections used for rankings, priority queues, and time-ordered indexes. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client.
Lists Ordered sequences often used as lightweight queues fed by sync events. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC.
Streams Append-only logs with consumer groups, used to fan sync events out to downstream services. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Redis Enterprise or TiDB record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your Redis Enterprise ⇄ TiDB sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Redis Enterprise and TiDB.

How the Redis Enterprise and TiDB connectors work

Redis Enterprise

Integration surface
Redis wire protocol (RESP) via client libraries; separate REST API for cluster management
Authentication
Password or ACL-based credentials, typically over TLS
Change detection
Keyspace notifications over pub/sub or reads from Redis Streams; no transaction-log CDC surface for data
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Throughput is bounded by provisioned cluster capacity rather than published API rate limits

TiDB

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol (SQL)
Authentication
Database credentials (MySQL-compatible username/password)
Change detection
Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks; polling also works
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas
How it works
