Why teams connect Adobeanalytics and Azure SQL Database

Give Adobeanalytics the users, events, and records that live in Azure SQL Database in real time, and sync the cohorts and scores Adobeanalytics computes back into Azure SQL Database where your applications read them.

Adobeanalytics is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Azure SQL Database, so Azure SQL Database always reflects the current state of Adobeanalytics — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

A database holds the rows your business runs on: the users, events, orders, and records that every service reads and writes. Adobeanalytics is where people make sense of them, as dashboards, funnels, cohorts, and metrics. Moving the data from Azure SQL Database into Adobeanalytics usually means a hand-built extract or a change-data-capture pipeline that breaks the moment a column is renamed, and reporting that always trails last night's load.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Dimensions, Metrics, Calculated Metrics, and Segment definitions into a catalog database to document the Adobe Analytics reporting model.
  • 02 Load report data on a schedule into a reporting database for executive dashboards without manual Analysis Workspace exports or Report Builder pulls.
  • 03 Replicate Azure SQL tables to a warehouse without building custom CDC pipelines.
  • 04 Consolidate data from several line-of-business apps into one Azure SQL database as an integration hub.

Common sync patterns

Filter and grouping dimensions kept fresh

Attributes teams slice by, such as plan, region, or account owner, stay current in Adobeanalytics because they sync from Azure SQL Database as they change, instead of going stale after a one-time import.

Where Adobeanalytics tracks product events: behavior onto stored records

Signup, usage, and lifecycle events captured in Adobeanalytics sync into Azure SQL Database as rows, so applications and internal tools can read behavioral data next to the records they already keep.

Where Adobeanalytics builds cohorts or scores: results your services can read

Segments, cohorts, or scores computed in Adobeanalytics sync back into Azure SQL Database, where the services that read from the database act on them at query speed without calling the analytics API.

What you can sync between Adobeanalytics and Azure SQL Database

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.

Adobeanalytics objects Azure SQL Database objects How this pairing syncs
Report Suites Report suite and virtual report suite configuration read via the /collections/suites endpoint; enumerated to list the report suites available to the company. Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. Report Suites is specific to Adobeanalytics and Rows and columns to Azure SQL Database — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Users in the Analytics company, read via GET /users and /users/me; loaded for access, entitlement, and identity reconciliation reporting. Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. Users is specific to Adobeanalytics and Stored procedures to Azure SQL Database — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Usage and Access Logs Admin audit and usage logs of report and tool activity, read via the usage/audit-log endpoints; loaded for security, governance, and adoption reporting. Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Usage and Access Logs is specific to Adobeanalytics and Change tracking / CDC tables to Azure SQL Database — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reports Core reporting endpoint (POST /reports on analytics.adobe.io); returns ranked or trended report data for chosen metrics broken down by dimensions over a date range, with optional segment filters. The main dataset Stacksync reads out. Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Reports is specific to Adobeanalytics and Tables to Azure SQL Database — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dimensions Available report dimensions (eVars, props, and standard dimensions) per report suite, read via GET /dimensions; pulled as reporting metadata to build report requests and mirror the model. Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. Dimensions is specific to Adobeanalytics and Views to Azure SQL Database — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metrics Standard metrics available for a report suite, read via GET /metrics; read as metadata to construct report requests and document available measures. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. Metrics is specific to Adobeanalytics and Schemas to Azure SQL Database — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adobeanalytics and Azure SQL Database

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Adobeanalytics Azure SQL Database Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Adobeanalytics for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based over a date range: reports are requested for a from/to window and re-queried on a schedule.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Azure SQL Database as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Azure SQL Database Adobeanalytics Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure SQL Database are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database.

DeliveryAdobeanalytics does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Adobeanalytics's output flows back as field updates on the originating Azure SQL Database records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Adobeanalytics: The Analytics 2.0 API enforces 12 requests per 6 seconds (about 120 per minute) per user; exceeding it returns HTTP 429 with error_code 429050. A separate per-report-suite reporting-engine throttle can slow large requests without returning an error.

How the Adobeanalytics and Azure SQL Database connectors work

Adobeanalytics

Integration surface
Analytics 2.0 REST API on analytics.adobe.io for reporting and components; Data Feeds and Data Warehouse for raw hit-level export; Data Insertion and Bulk Data Insertion (CSV) APIs for inbound server-side collection.
Authentication
OAuth Server-to-Server via the Adobe Developer Console (JWT service-account auth was deprecated January 1, 2025). The company's global company ID is sent in the x-proxy-global-company-id header, and the integration needs at least the Report Suites, Metrics, and Dimensions permission groups.
Change detection
Pull-based over a date range: reports are requested for a from/to window and re-queried on a schedule. No change-data-capture feed or report-data webhooks; Adobe recommends not polling for new data faster than every 30 minutes and caching results.

Azure SQL Database
