Why teams connect Starburst Enterprise and TimescaleDB

Connect TimescaleDB and Starburst Enterprise 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 Starburst Enterprise, 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 Starburst Enterprise in real time, and result tables in Starburst Enterprise sync back into TimescaleDB, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Write curated or reconciled results back to lakehouse tables through connectors that support inserts
  • Read federated views that join warehouse, lake, and database tables, then sync the result into operational tools like a CRM
  • Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.
  • Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

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

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Starburst Enterprise sync into TimescaleDB, 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 Starburst Enterprise 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.

Starburst Enterprise objects TimescaleDB objects
Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment.
Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs.
Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly.
Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems.
Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data.
Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers.

How the Starburst Enterprise and TimescaleDB connectors work

Starburst Enterprise

Integration surface
ANSI SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers and the Trino client REST protocol
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: username/password, LDAP, OAuth 2.0, or Kerberos
Change detection
Query-based polling; Starburst is a query engine and exposes no change log of its own
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas

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.
