Event queues in Stacksync

With Stacksync, events are captured and stored in queues as soon as they occur. Each event is processed in order, triggering the appropriate workflow, update, or integration. If an event fails to process, it can be retried or logged for troubleshooting, ensuring no data is lost and every business rule is enforced.

Key benefits

  • Orderly Processing: Events are handled in the exact sequence they occur, preserving data integrity and business logic.
  • Decoupled Architecture: Producers and consumers of events operate independently, improving scalability and maintainability.
  • Fault Tolerance: Failed events can be retried or logged, so no event is lost, even in the face of errors or outages.
  • Resource Optimization: Event queues prevent resource contention and race conditions, ensuring optimal system performance.
  • Prioritization & Filtering: Advanced event queues can prioritize critical events and filter based on type or source, so urgent tasks are handled first.

Use cases

  • Real-time data sync: Instantly propagate changes across databases, CRMs, and SaaS tools by queuing and processing data change events.
  • Order processing: Queue and handle e-commerce orders, ensuring each step (payment, inventory, shipping) is executed in order.
  • Notification systems: Trigger customer alerts, internal messages, or system notifications as soon as relevant events enter the queue.
  • Audit and compliance: Log every change or action in an immutable event queue for compliance and audit trails.
  • Error recovery: Automatically retry failed events or alert teams for manual intervention, ensuring no business process is left incomplete.

Why use event queues?

Stacksync’s event queues are purpose-built for modern, event-driven business operations. They provide the backbone for real-time, reliable, and scalable data workflows, allowing you to:

  • Respond instantly to changes and triggers across your stack
  • Maintain data consistency and order, even at enterprise scale
  • Build robust, fault-tolerant automations that recover gracefully from errors
  • Decouple complex systems for easier maintenance and future growth

With enterprise-grade monitoring, retry, and rollback capabilities, Stacksync’s event queues keep your data and processes flowing, no matter how complex or high-volume your operations become.
