Why teams connect Rockset and TiDB

Connect TiDB 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 TiDB'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 TiDB where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in TiDB sync into Rockset in real time, and result tables in Rockset sync back into TiDB, 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.
  • Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Rockset sync into TiDB, 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.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Rockset and keep TiDB focused on its operational workload.

What you can sync between Rockset 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.

Rockset objects TiDB objects
Workspaces Namespaces that group collections and query lambdas per team or environment. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward.
Query Lambdas Named, parameterized SQL queries invoked over REST to read synced data. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system.
Aliases Stable names that point at collections, used to swap datasets without changing queries. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient.
Integrations Managed source connections (databases, streams, object storage) feeding collections. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows.
Virtual Instances Isolated compute units that separate ingest from query workloads. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client.
Collections Schemaless document containers that ingested and synced records land in. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC.
