Why teams connect TiDB and YugabyteDB

Keep TiDB and YugabyteDB 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 TiDB and YugabyteDB 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

  • 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
  • Two-way sync between YugabyteDB application tables and a CRM so product data and account records stay consistent.
  • Sync reference data such as pricing or entitlements from an ERP into YugabyteDB for globally distributed low-latency reads.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both TiDB and YugabyteDB, 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.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

What you can sync between TiDB and YugabyteDB

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.

TiDB objects YugabyteDB objects
Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data.
Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables.
Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.
Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively.
Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets.
Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes.

How the TiDB and YugabyteDB connectors work

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

Rate limits
Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas

YugabyteDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible YSQL) plus a Cassandra-compatible YCQL API
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors
Capabilities
