With configuration as code, you can ad, update, or remove tables and fields in your syncs directly from the Stacksync app or through code-based templates. When you introduce a new column, Stacksync automatically backfills historical data for that field and continues syncing new updates in real time. This seamless process ensures your integrations remain accurate and up to date, even as your data models evolve.
Configuration as code brings the rigor and repeatability of software development to your data syncs. By managing your integration setups programmatically, you gain greater control, transparency, and agility, ensuring your systems stay in sync, even as your data landscape evolves.
What is configuration as code in Stacksync and how does it work?
Configuration as code in Stacksync lets you define, manage, and automate all your sync and workflow settings using code files, typically in formats like YAML or JSON. These configuration files are stored in version control systems, enabling you to track changes, roll back updates, and ensure consistent deployments across environments, just like you would with application code.
What are the benefits of using configuration as code in Stacksync?
Using configuration as code in Stacksync streamlines workflow automation, ensures consistency, and reduces manual errors. It enables rapid deployment, easier auditing, and faster troubleshooting by keeping a complete, versioned history of all configuration changes. Teams can collaborate more efficiently, automate validation, and maintain standardized settings across development, staging, and production environments.
How does Stacksync ensure configuration consistency and prevent drift?
Stacksync uses a declarative approach, your configuration files specify the desired state, and the platform automatically applies and enforces these settings. Idempotency ensures that reapplying the same configuration always results in the same system state, preventing configuration drift and maintaining stability across all deployments.
Can I roll back to previous configurations in Stacksync?
Yes, because all configurations are stored in version control, you can easily revert to any previous version if an issue arises. Stacksync supports tagging or labeling stable configuration versions, making rollbacks fast and reliable, and ensuring business continuity during incidents or updates.
