Why teams connect Workday and YugabyteDB

Work with Workday's financial data straight from YugabyteDB: 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 Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers from Workday into Indexes, Materialized Views, Schemas, Sequences in YugabyteDB and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against YugabyteDB, 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.
  • Run log-based CDC from YugabyteDB tables into a warehouse for analytics without batch dumps.
  • Two-way sync between YugabyteDB application tables and a CRM so product data and account records stay consistent.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in YugabyteDB propagate into Workday, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

Changes in Workday appear in YugabyteDB 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 YugabyteDB as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

What you can sync between Workday 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.

Workday objects YugabyteDB objects
Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables.
Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.
Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively.
Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets.
Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems. Indexes Global secondary indexes maintained transactionally alongside table writes.
Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping.
