Why teams connect Scaleway Postgres and TiDB

Keep Scaleway Postgres 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 Scaleway Postgres 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

  • Replicate the application database into a warehouse for analytics without writing custom pipelines
  • Back internal tools with the same Postgres instance while Stacksync keeps it consistent with external systems
  • 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

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 Scaleway Postgres 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 Scaleway Postgres 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.

Scaleway Postgres objects TiDB objects
Views Read-only sources for shaping data before it leaves the database. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system.
Materialized views Precomputed result sets that can be read on a schedule for downstream syncs. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient.
Schemas Namespace tables so multiple applications or environments can be synced selectively. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows.
Sequences Generate primary keys; sync tooling must respect them when writing rows. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client.
Columns Postgres-native types, including JSONB and arrays, are mapped to fields in the paired system. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC.
Tables Primary sync unit; each table maps to an object or table on the other side of the sync. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward.

How the Scaleway Postgres and TiDB connectors work

Scaleway Postgres

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password over TLS)
Change detection
Log-based CDC via PostgreSQL logical replication where the managed instance permits it; otherwise timestamp or query-based polling
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Throughput is bounded by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas

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
