Why teams connect Rockset and TimescaleDB

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

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

Common use cases

  • Sync Postgres or DynamoDB tables into collections for low-latency aggregations without loading a batch warehouse.
  • Read query results back into an operational database to expose computed metrics to applications.
  • Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.
  • Consolidate metrics from several services into one hypertable to serve a single reporting layer.

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 TimescaleDB focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

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

What you can sync between Rockset and TimescaleDB

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 TimescaleDB objects
Documents JSON records addressable by _id, written via the Write API in sync pipelines. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment.
Workspaces Namespaces that group collections and query lambdas per team or environment. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs.
Query Lambdas Named, parameterized SQL queries invoked over REST to read synced data. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly.
Aliases Stable names that point at collections, used to swap datasets without changing queries. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems.
Integrations Managed source connections (databases, streams, object storage) feeding collections. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data.
Virtual Instances Isolated compute units that separate ingest from query workloads. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers.

How the Rockset and TimescaleDB connectors work

Rockset

Integration surface
REST API (SQL over HTTP, plus a document Write API)
Authentication
API key
Change detection
Polling via SQL queries on timestamp fields; ingestion-side change capture is handled by Rockset's managed source connectors
Capabilities
read · write

TimescaleDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must be remapped to the parent — or timestamp-based polling on time columns; regular Postgres tables replicate through standard logical replication
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.
