In modern enterprise environments, data is fragmented across a growing number of specialized operational systems—CRMs, ERPs, and databases. This fragmentation leads to data silos, high latency, and inconsistencies that directly impact business operations. Engineering teams often resort to building brittle, custom-coded integrations or relying on generic iPaaS platforms, both of which can be inefficient, costly, and divert valuable resources from core product development.

The Core Challenge: Data Fragmentation and Latency

Data silos are the natural result of adopting best-of-breed applications for different business functions. While each application excels in its domain, the lack of seamless integration introduces operational bottlenecks. Traditional integration methods frequently fall short:

• Custom Code: In-house integrations are resource-intensive, require constant maintenance, and can fail silently, leading to data drift and unrecoverable inconsistencies.
• Generic iPaaS Solutions: Often designed for one-way data flows or simple workflow automation, these platforms may introduce significant latency and struggle with complex conflict resolution.
• Batch Processing: Scheduled data dumps (hourly or daily) are insufficient for use cases demanding immediate data availability, causing business decisions to be based on outdated information.

These limitations compromise data integrity and keep engineering teams bogged down with maintenance instead of focusing on business value.

Stacksync’s Solution: Real-Time, Bi-Directional Sync at Scale

Stacksync eliminates the complexity and unreliability of traditional integration by providing a robust, purpose-built platform for bi-directional, real-time data synchronization. Unlike solutions that simulate two-way sync with parallel one-way pipelines, Stacksync ensures genuine bi-directionality, synchronizing data in milliseconds for mission-critical use cases.

This approach empowers engineering teams to access and manipulate data from complex systems like CRMs and ERPs directly through their existing databases, removing the need for custom infrastructure or complex API development.

Key Capabilities:

• Real-Time Performance: The Stacksync engine propagates changes across connected systems with sub-second latency, enabling immediate data availability for operational workflows and decision-making.
• Custom Sync Frequencies: While real-time is the default, users can configure scheduled syncs to meet specific business or budget requirements, offering control over data flow.
• Effortless Scalability: Architected to scale from thousands to millions of executions per minute without requiring users to manage or provision infrastructure, ensuring consistent performance as data volume grows.

Engineered for Reliability and Effortless Management

Data synchronization is only valuable if it is reliable. Stacksync incorporates automated reliability and transparent management features to ensure continuous, uninterrupted data flow:

• Centralized Issue Management: A dedicated dashboard provides full visibility into sync status. Failures can be diagnosed, retried, or reverted with a single click, reducing troubleshooting time.
• Intelligent Alerting: Receive real-time notifications for record syncing issues via email, Slack, Pagerduty, or WhatsApp, enabling proactive response before issues impact operations.
• Smart API Rate Limit Handling: The platform adapts to the API rate limits of connected systems, optimizing traffic to prevent quota overruns and service disruptions without manual intervention.

Advanced Capabilities: Beyond Simple Synchronization

Stacksync extends its value beyond data synchronization by enabling workflow automation and enterprise-grade governance:

• Event-Driven Triggers: Automatically initiate custom workflows or call external API endpoints when records are created, updated, or deleted. This supports real-time business processes such as data enrichment or customer notifications.
• Configuration as Code: Manage all sync configurations and resources from a GitHub repository for version control, collaboration, and integration with CI/CD pipelines.
• No-Code to Pro-Code Flexibility: Offers a no-code interface for rapid setup and configuration, empowering non-technical users, while also supporting a pro-code approach for complex requirements.

Enterprise-Grade Security by Design

Security is foundational to Stacksync, ensuring data is protected at every stage and compliant with enterprise standards:

• End-to-End Encryption: All data is protected with AES encryption, both in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest, using regularly rotating keys. Stacksync processes but does not store data, ensuring sensitive information does not persist outside your infrastructure.
• Granular Access Control: Enforce least privilege with granular, role-based access control (RBAC) at workspace, team, and integration levels. Supports SSO & SCIM integration (Okta, Azure) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for secure user management.
• Secure Connectivity Options: Supports OAuth 2.0, SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, VPN gateways, and VPC peering. Credential management and token rotation are automated for ease and security.
• Compliance and Auditing: Designed for compliance with SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and CCPA. Every action is logged and auditable for operational oversight and regulatory requirements.

By unifying disparate systems with a reliable, secure, and real-time synchronization engine, Stacksync empowers enterprises to eliminate data silos, automate critical business processes, and unlock operational efficiency.
