Why teams connect TimescaleDB and Workday

Work with Workday's financial data straight from TimescaleDB: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Suppliers, Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS) from Workday into Views, Schemas, Hypertables, Chunks in TimescaleDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against TimescaleDB, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Workday with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • Sync product or IoT telemetry stored in TimescaleDB into a CRM so account teams see usage metrics next to the customer record.
  • Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.

React to financial events

Changes in Workday appear in TimescaleDB as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Workday live in TimescaleDB as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on TimescaleDB; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Workday.

What you can sync between TimescaleDB and Workday

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.

TimescaleDB objects Workday objects
Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used.
Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials.
Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs.
Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems.
Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools.

How the TimescaleDB and Workday connectors work

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.

Workday

Integration surface
SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for the REST API; integration system users with WS-Security or certificate-based auth for SOAP
Change detection
Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface
